    Even after deducting the cost of the credit, your income multiple is still less than 3x, so you've listed nothing which would see you declined.

    Majority of deposit is borrowed on credit card. One assumes as is 0% interest card.

    So may impact at underwriting stage.

    It's newbuy, so it's between 90% and 95%.
