Rent towards income for mortgage application

Hello all, new to this so bear with me.

Trying to get a mortgage for a new property, currently have £75000 deposit and want to borrow £100000. Problem is earnings are only £21000 so might not get the loan amount i need.

I do however have a rental income of £6000 per year from my wife who cannot go on the mortgage.

Can this be classed as income to increase the amount i can borrow, if so which lenders would accept this?

Hakifax state they used too but changed recently (end of last year??), i assume others would have and may still do this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
