Banks view of gap in employment - Career break

Relax brah

Hi Guys,

Hoping this is the correct section to post in and apologies if not.

Like many, I am fed up with this pandemic and working from home. I am contemplating taking a career break (resigning voluntarily) and taking a few months out to recharge - likely 2-3 months.

I am currently renting, single, early 30’s working in tech sector in a well paid senior role (lucky me!) The bank have been supportive with mortgage approvals in the past and I have got many exceptions due to a steady increase in earnings over time.

I have been offered a new role in a different company starting January 1st 2022. Ideally I would like to resign in September and possibly travel for a months to recharge the batteries.

Equally conscious of how the bank may view this as I do intend on going back on the market next year for my first home.

Would be great to get some feedback, thoughts, suggestions on this

Thanks!

Once you've passed any probation period in the new Job & have a min of 6 months+ payslips, it won't be an issue.

Only if you were trying in early 2022 would it be an issue.
