Mortgage application not FTB

So we popped our house on the market accepted an offer and we made offer on a house which has been accepted :)

So we aren't first time buyers but we recently remortgaged this house as our fixed term deal ended so we switched. I have about £6k of debt (4 on a car loan and 2 on a card) hubby has about £2k we are putting £30k (hopefully) down on a £150k house what's our chances of getting mortgage approval? We have never missed any payments but our score on noddle is just 3 out of 5 I'm just worried now and our broker isn't in office till Wednesday. X

    You need an affordability calculation, and you should really have done that before putting offers on houses - in the meantime go to the lender you are currently with, use their online affordability calculation. It should give you a rough idea of what you can borrow.
