In short: is this possible?
My wife and I changed from BOI (ICS) to KBC 15 months ago, and have 400k left on the loan. Now we want to bid on a dream house which, if we sell ours at the expected price, will require us to up our borrowing to 500k once the current mortgage is paid off.
The problem is that I'm changing jobs - finishing with my current company this month, taking a month off, and starting with a new one in May. I then have a three-month probation period.
Based on other comments on the forum about probation periods, I'm guessing we have no chance at this, even if we stay with KBC, and even though the new job has a significant salary increase.
Does that sound realistic, or am I being too pessimistic? Any glimmers of hope appreciated...
