    1. Big problem.
    2. Most lenders will want 2 or 3 years accounts in the current market.
    3. Halifax will want accounts.
    4. To borrow £200k? Doubt it. Is that how much you want to borrow?
    5. Or a broker who has that sort of expertise. Although I suspect a magician might be more appropriate.

    Self employed, no accounts, looking to borrow 6 or 7 times income, slightly patchy credit history in the middle of a recession caused by the lack of availability of mortgage funds.

    I think you're struggling. Sorry.
