Speculative SOA - any comments please?

I'm not sure if I've even filled this in correctly, but I am shortly facing bankruptcy and wondered if anyone could comment on my likely SOA? I haven't actually moved into this property yet with my partner, it will be a Victorian 2 bed terrace so the costs are estimated. Also, I'm not sure exactly what my partners income is but we will be splitting costs 50/50 - would I just state his income as being identical to mine?

    I would cross out partners income (as that wouldn't be accurate) and put partners contribution to expenses. The OR will see that they are contributing 50% and that should be fine.
