I have a house with lodgers, looking to buy an extra house, more central, and take in a couple of lodgers. Would a lender take into account the income of the future lodgers and the extra income of letting out my old room? It could be another £700. The lodgers in current residential home count as income too. But some BTL mortgages are primarily focused on how much rent the new property will produce, and not necessarily take into account earnings.

This is just an idle question, please don't ask for a list of other info and circumstances.
