    But what would happen in the scenario where people have kids where they only find out it is theres 2/3 months down the line. I was just curious as to how they would know, might sounds crazy lol Cheers

    I once had a client who wanted to keep the number of kids he had quiet on a mortgage application. I suggested there was an error in his actions which became apparent when we reached the child/working tax credits section of the application, income he needed taken into account.:wall:

    Go and have a play on sites like Nationwide, Abbey and Halifax. They all have affordability calculators and allow you to input various numbers of kids so you can see the impact they have.
