    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

    Good luck

    Who is your current lender? Can you not just product switch at the end of the term sticking with the same 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..

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

    A couple do, but not many.
