    In a word, No.

    You can't get a self cert mortgage on anything these days.... and the majority of lenders have always hated properties with agricultural restrictions

    Sorry :o

    There are lenders for agricultural restricted properties but there are no self cert lenders.

    Why do you need self cert?

    Normal residential mortgages are not possible anyway on agricultural occupancies simply because it's a kind of business, farming. Simply letting you know that since your question implies you're not a farmer/smallholder and so no reason why you would be aware of what an agricultural restriction means. And, as GMS says, no self certs although there are specialist lenders.

    If your money is from employment then why would you need self cert?

    The sorts of lenders for this include The Ecology, Norwich and Peterborough, Saffron, Ipswich, Hants Trust and so on. Hants Trust can consider semi self cert for certain situations - but only certain brokers can transact this.
