    Follow the force and explain why you need a self cert

    Property value
    Mortgage amount
    Gross yearly income

    If you really need to self cert then check out bank of scotland.

    You should see a broker first though to see if there are other options.

    No problem - you can use your tax returns to show you've been earning £25k.

    Exactly - how long have you been self employed? What is your occupation?

    How many years tax returns do you have?

    If you go down the mortgage fraud route or the tax evasion route, you will be taking more than a dip - you could get fined or even a nice spell in one of HM prisons!
