androx | What criteria do you have to meet to get a morgage? |
how long in a job , what kind of wage earned, circumstances etc |

Decent credit. Enough income to pay the monthly mortgage payment. Type of job usually doesn't matter, unless whatever you do is illegal. Length of time in a job will figure in if you haven't been employed very long. However, you can get a mortgage fairly easily if you have a past work history, even if you've only been in your current job a short time.
I'd say the biggest factors are credit score, amount of debt you currently have and enough income to pay a new mortgage. |

Depends where you are but the current practice in most of Europe is a calculation of debt/service ratio, broadly equating to not more than 35% of net income required to service the loan at current rates plus 2%. These days, if you can prove the income in the past, questions beyond that (like job security and re-employment prospects) don't get asked. The key to successful use of any credit is affordability, not what you can wangle out of a lender. |

There are exceptions and special loan programs for almost every scenario, but for a Fannie Mae conventional loan, you will need two years employment history in the same line of work; debt-to-income (DTI) ratio of 43% or less, including the new mortgage, taxes, & insurance; any bankruptcy must be at least two years old; credit score above 600 for no-down payment, lower if you have down payment and/or reserves. For reserves, they like at least two months of payments in a liquid account.

A decent credit rating and sufficient income to make the payments. I've gotten a mortgage with as little as 6 months in my current job though I did have decades of continuous employment and a strong credit score. |

Different Building Societies, different rules, but basically, you need to be in a permanent job (Ideally for some time), have lived in the same place for at least 1 year, earn annually, at least one fifth of the amount you need and ideally have not court judgments against you.
Some lending sources will still lend to someone with CCJ's , but the rate will be higher.
Lots of companies will 'credit score' you to prove your suitability. You get points for - time in present employ, time in present home, in fixed relationship, have tel. landline, over 21. etc, etc. |

It really depends on the company. I know that here in MA there is Sunset Mortgage, they can find programs for almost anyone, even if you can't verify where your income comes from, bad credit, etc. Listen to the radio whereever you are, there should be companies advertising that will say good credit/bad credit/no problem. Give them a call or go to thier website. |

Faye is correct. You need to have a solid work history for at least a year, preferrably two. Decent credit score (above 550?... not sure on that exact #). Your debt to income ratio should sit at least at 60/40 (with only 40% of your income currently going towards debt, i think that means). If you can get a no or low down payment mortgage, you should still have enough cash on hand to cover expenses in obtaining the loan (escrow, other fees & such...$1000-$2000 tops, depending on the loan amt). On the other hand, If you get a traditional type loan, the down payment is uaullay 10% of the mortgage amount (which is a lot). Hope this helps...don't give up. Banks can be difficult and require verification of every spec of information, plus some. If you get turned down at one, search out a different company with different loan options. If reapplying somewhere else, though, watch the numer of times they run your credit score, as too many inquiries can end up lowering the score. There are tons of mortgage options out there for first time buyers, but you need to do your homework so you don't get screwed. |

Good credit, well paid job, no blacklists or CCJs against your name or been declared bankrupt. |

its a complex point system
a few points each for many things
mostly they want to see that you pay back money on time
you can borrow like 4 times yearly earnings usually I think |

These days, you need to be wealthy or have wealthy parents.
Sad, but for the most part, true. Unless you don't mind living in a grotty 'fixer-upper' one step down from a garden shed. |
