House price £450k
Help to buy £133500
Mortgage amount £33750

£5000 left on loan
£270 car payment
Good credit history
Applicant 2

Commission £18000 (always get it sometimes more I’ve taken home £3500 per month the past 3 months)
Credit card £2500
Catalogue £1000
Experian 978
Noddle 2/5 561

Might be a little tight on affordability but I would say yes, there should be options out there.

Can you correct these?House price £450k
Help to buy £133500
Mortgage amount £33750
Presumably this is HTB London and the equity loan should be a rounded percentage, 30%, or £135,000?
That leaves £315,000 so with a minimum deposit of 5%, £22,500, the maximum mortgage requirement is £292,500.
If you haven't already done so, make sure you properly complete the London HTB affordability calculator;-
