what are our chances

Hi everyone, okay here are the facts.


We are looking to buy a property for £120,000 (1 bed flat/maisonette in the south east) we have a £60,000 deposit. I earn £6500 PA and my husband earns £20000 basic but overtime takes it up to £23000.


I have a credit card of £424 and overdraft of £600. Husband has credit card of £1500. Not missed any min payments for years and years. I got turned down for a credit card a year ago whilst I was trying to balance transfer but then did get accepted for another credit card.


What are our chances?

    Run your details through different lenders' affordability calculators and see the outputs and if they are sufficient.
