Mortgage and change in career

First time poster, so please be gentle!

I find myself in somewhat of a sticky situation.

Im a first time buyer with 3 dependents i'm married and in a business partnership.

Im going self employed and a partner is dissolving the company (moving abroad).

Like anything the timing couldnt be worse, i know my income will stay static when becoming self employed, but its just at the time that i will be getting a small mortgage (20 - 30% of the value of the property).

Being in a partnership is as good as being self employed as all 3 of us do our own tax returns and a partnership return. But im not sure how a bank or mortgage advisor will take to the change in circumstances.

I have a meeting on monday, but thought i would see if anyone could shed any light on what a response may be whilst im worrying about it now!!!

Any light on the situation would make me very grateful!

Thanks in advance

C. :eek:
