Help to buy spread sheet help?

Hi recently submitted a help to buy application,for the first time buyer equity loan. I'm just waiting for them to process the application,but nerves are killing me 😂. having entered all the information as we did on the application,below are the results. Am I right that this would be authorised for HTB?, as the debt to household income ratio is 26.72%?

    If there are any reds, you will be invited to amend the PIF. It seems your deposit is too low.

    Oh really. So if there is a red then there is an issue? We submitted via a broker though

    I suspect this was remedied before the PIF was submitted. When you start the PIF process, the first section is the calculator and if it doesn't fit, you can't proceed.

    Speak to your broker about the deposit amount entered on the PIF. Don't forget, the deposit is a minimum of 5% and more than that may be required if affordability isn't met using the minimum.

    Hi many thanks, so if there is any red then this means something isn't right?

    Yes, red means something is not right.

    In this case is would appear that something is miss-keyed by a few pounds (possible the purchase price). The affordability figures are well clear.

    £18,698 is 5% of £373,950

    This will be resolve whilst you are applying for the authority to proceed.
