...eligible for a mortgage in the UK? assuming a decent deposit

Most of the mainstream and highstreet lenders would require you to have a permanent contract of employment or at least have evidence of adequate savings that can be accessed. It really depends on the terms of your contract and your financial situation generally; lenders want assurance that you'll have the ongoing ability to pay your mortgage.If you can't find a mainstream lender to consider you, try a mortgage broker. They can help you find lenders with less orthodox requirements and terms, although the rates are generally less good.
