    Hi there,

    They will have an impact unfortunately, whilst they say in criteria under £x they consider them this is subject to credit score which they impact upon heavily.

    How much impact they have on your application will depend upon what loan to value you are looking for, partners credit score, current banking history and behaviour.

    Depending on the above and appropriate lender selection I think you will be fine...

    All the best
