How will you pay your fees?

Evening

Just part way through a mortgage application and im sure i will get the question ''how are you planning on paying your fees''?

All should be well meaning with my £35,000 deposit saving i will just have enough for my fees £4200 before my next wage.

Will they say this is too tight ?
Can i say i will pay on credit card?
Family helping out?
Overdraft?

Are fees looked at the same as deposit? eg if someone pays for you its seen as interest in the property?

Just do not want to stitch myself up if the question is asked or have the mortgage declined for a wrong answer.

Thanks
