Need to move/Got a DMP/Will pay everything off on completion

Hello, lets see how this goes!! We are looking at moving into a new build with the help to buy scheme. I'm aware that I need to sell my home STC before applying for the scheme. My house is ready to go to market but I'm not prepared to put it on until I find a mortgage to cover the rest of what I need to buy the new build. Yesterday, I received the galling news that Aldermore wouldn't approve a DIP (awaiting reasons why). My current situation is as follows......

House value £170k (£131k interest only mortgage outstanding - no missed payments)
£18k on a DMP (mine - would be paid off in full from equity. 1 debt went to default in 2012 and has since been "sold" - no missed payments to DMP)
£5k debt (wives!!!! - would be paid off in full from equity)
£10k "gift" from parents to "assist a move ONLY".

That should leave £26k as deposit.

House looking to purchase £286k
Help to buy (20%) £57k
Deposit £20k (£6k kept for "moving costs")
Mortgage required £209k

Income myself £34k pa
Income wife £13k pa
Other income £1800

Anybody got any help, or advice about where to go next??? Aldermore came to my attention through Seico mortgages. L&C have been "trying to find the right person to contact me" (that was there actual answer to me!!!!) for 4 weeks now!!!

Any help would be greatfully appreciated!!
