Salary & Mortgages

Options
I'm after a little advice....

What is the current mortgage market's approach to directors who draw only a minimum salary and the rest of their income as dividends??

As it stands I take my whole income as salary, with only a small yearly dividend however as with most directors I wish to maximise my tax benefits and draw the minimum I can taking the rest in dividends.

Will I be penalised for this, or will they actually look at my income as a whole and be reasonable???
