I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I could be declined a mortgage on the basis of being pregnant. For the record, I am not pregnant at the moment but hope to be soon.
We have already seen a mortgage adviser a couple of weeks ago and were offered a mortgage in principle. Since then he has been given 3 months notice of redundancy which obviously puts our plans on hold and I assume nullifies our mortgage offer.
Once he is in a new job, if I was pregnant in 4 or 5 months time when we go back to see a mortgage adviser would this affect their decision? I work full time as does he. He owns a property already which he would sell and use about £50k for a deposit. I would be a first time buyer and have savings.
TIA
