Chances of mortgage?

Long story short, have mortgage in current house, in position by end of month to pay off entire mortgage plus credit card, loan and store card debts in full. We are looking to upsize asap and have seen a house that has been in the market for a while that is the ‘perfect’ house.
Slight problem in the fact partner was signed off from work in August 17 due to a traffic accident. Since the start of September we have been in overdraft in the main account (we have an agreed 2k overdraft, have been roughly 900-1,500 in the overdraft since, have only come out of it briefly). We had just had quite a bit of work done on the house so had no savings to cover the 4 months of my partner only receiving sick pay. She has now returned to her job (in fact has now been promoted which was due to take place prior to the accident) and will start getting full pay again at He end of January.
As I say we will be completely out of overdraft, mortgage and debt free by the end of January.
With this in mind, and the fact we really want the house we have seen (obviously subject to selling our current house).
So the question is, where would we stand with producing g 3 months statements to a mortgage company, is there any point? Obviously we could wait 3 months to have a set of clear statements but we really want that house, would we be laughed out of the building?

This is probably your biggest challenge. Though hopefully you'll make yourselves financially securer following the windfall. An underwriters only potential concern would be that you are simply proposing to expose yourselves to an even greater financial risk.0 -

Thought it would look really bad, I know since 2014 it has got harder to get mortgages, we got our current one in 2012 when things were a bit easier!0 -

Never had any finically problems prior to August, just a slight blip due to circumstances out of our control. Just bad timing that we had spent a lot of savings on improvements to the house ready for selling!0 -
I realise anyway that by the time things are sorted in terms of house sales etc that we will probably be well more than 3 months down the line anyway so this won’t matter but you never know how quick these things could happen!0
