The answer

A pre-approval based on the old job or expected income may not settle the final mortgage. The lender or broker should review the signed employment terms, start date, probation, guaranteed and variable income, existing obligations, down-payment trail, property type, and possession timing before the buyer relies on a price range or removes financing conditions.
