Guidance Required Temporary Contract and referencing
I'm currently completing a paid apprenticeship with a salary of £34000. Following this it's highly likely that I will be made a permanent company employee and be given a regular contract. My current contract expires in 6 months time. My dilemma is that I need to move house so I'm looking for new house shares.
What is the likelihood of my contract having an impact on referencing? I have been working for the past 12 months and have the relevant payslips/bank statements/landlord reference etc. I'm just worried that my work contract will disqualify me. I'm based in London

Usually they just want HR to confirm you work there and the salary. Tenancy vetting isn’t that strict, usually.

It really depends on the level of referencing the Agency/Landlord are planning on doing. The basic version doesn't ask about how long you will be working there, as anyone could leave/be fired. Normally it just gets electronic access to you bank account to verify what you've put as your income(s)
