Unfortunately I am going through a divorce and intend to buy my current marital
home off my wife.
There is plenty of equity in the property but my existing mortgage company wont accept
my form of income and it looks like self cert mortgages are dead in the water!
Any help in where to go and who to speak to about getting myself a mortgage would be much appreciated, thanks.

My wife and I are full time betting traders.  We originally got (and still have) a Self Cert but yes of course the rules will have changed for them.

Maybe worth a try though - BIRMINGHAM AND MIDSHIRES (Part of Halifax), good luck

Most highstreet lenders will want lots of proof of income. Not sure what the sub prime people want tho

Btw if you want to get an independent financial advisor on your side buy lots of protection, life cover/critical illness cover etc. It's what he gets paid most commission on. He will only get the sale if the mortgage is approved. Let him do the lying!

Nick Whitten of DTD has a good friend who specializes in this area an is highly recommended but i would imagine you will need to inject at least 25% cash into it to get it approved,i recently nearly bought a house an was approved by mortage lender but had to put down 40% cash down to get it approved as i told them what my main source of income was. Hope that helps ?

What are the chances of someone that has been self employed for only 3 months getting a mortgage?

They might let you in the mortgage shop if you have a 30% deposit in your hand.
