Mortgage advice when moving counties

[abitfunny]

Hello -

We are looking to relocate from London to Norwich in the new year.

Our credit isn’t great but we have a large deposit that we’ve been saving up, and are now putting the feelers out for what type of mortgage we can get.

My main concern is how we get a mortgage when they know we will be leaving our current jobs for new ones in Norfolk? Does anyone have knowledge or experience of this? Do we need to find jobs to have ready whilst applying for a mortgage?

Jobs first, then move into a rental for 6-12 months, then buy. You’ll have an idea of the area, work /childcare/school logistics to help you decide where you want to buy by then, plus you’d have passed probation periods in new jobs for mortgage application.
