    They will stress test for an increase in mortgage interest rates on your repayment ability to cope with same.

    That means they will make sure you have means to pay 125% of the month payment agreed (lets sat your payment will be 1000/month, the bank needs to make sure you can afford to pay 1250)

    Do lenders ask potential borrowers intentions about having children?

    They are hugely expensive, and would have a way bigger affect on disposable income/ability to repay than an increase in interest rates.
