What are my chances of getting a mortgage?

I am currently renting, but my father has offered me £25000 as a deposit for a house.

The house I would like to buy is £73000.

I earn £14700 a year.

I have debts of approx £1100 which I will pay off within the next 2 months.

I have a good clean credit history. I have checked with equifax and experian.

ETA I recieve CB for my three children - would mortgage companies include that in their calculations? Also I receive £300 a month from my Ex-husband.

    A £48k mortgage on your income sounds fine.

    Noting your credit commitments will be repaid on the mortgage application should see them excluded from any calculations.
