    the procedure, and rates are little different than any other mortgage - the only thing is that you do not need to be able to prove your income. Each lender has different criteria - I would advise speaking to a decent broker first, to see if you even need to self-certify but the "best" lenders will very much depend on your circumstances. With 40% deposit you shouldn't encounter any difficulty.

    What are your incomes?
    What mortgage amount do you want?

    Why do you need to self cert?

    There are many lenders that are flexible with their underwriting to offer you a mortgage with a 40% deposit
