Query regarding mortgage & inheritance

Hi all, just a brief basic query.
Basically, I've fallen in love with a new-build home which, according to the developer's website, has not been released yet and there are lots of plots of that hme style available.
Now, I'm in £33k of debt but am in the really lucky position of having lots of carp to sell, as well as a nice daddy who is helping me because I was made redundant twice this year already:mad:. And he's fabulous!:T
Now, my aunt has a £200k inheritance held in trust for me which my dad says I'm not allowed to touch till I have a perm job and am basically settled.
The house I really have my heart set on should be in the region of around£300k, which means that with other financial incomes etc, I should need around £85kish.
I really wanted to know if a bank saw that you were puttin down a big deposit, would they be better about mortgages etc? Obv I expect/hope to be working by then and to be debt free but I wasn't sure how much more of a deposit I would be able to afford?
Also, do they accept a private income as a source of income? ie income from stocks, shares & other investments?
Thanks very much in advance :T:T

    Your debts will significantly reduce the amount you can borrow so you need to clear these ASAP. You should also consider budgeting so you don't get into debt again once you have the responsibility of a house. Complete this and post on the DFW board:
