It will be incredibly tight pre and post MMR
Lender that takes 100% maintenance is likely to make a difference.
You could potentially get this offered pre MMR to complete when fix deal expires, although still not 100% sure which lenders will definitely go through offered cases and reassess

Who is your current lender?

We do not make the rules I am afraid, just interpret and apply them.
It will be tight, although as suggested some lenders may offer you a new product now..I am a Mortgage Broker

Don't think lenders include child benefit as an income for some reason.0

Pre MMR, little chance post MMR. Any lender that allows other income will only use 50-60% if it anyway. Your £10k us now down to an average £5500.
You childcare is circa £4k plus general 5% minimum payment on the card. The debts wipe out your other incone.
Therefore £39k with one child, you will not get 5x income.
You need a lender as a broker says to use 100% of other income. Your probably too close to MMR0 -
