Self employed - best mortgage?

This is our situation - would really appreciate any advance on which lenders/products to look at.

Husband earns £35k (same employer for 10yrs)
I am self employed. This year I will have earned about £40k profit. Last year I earned 10k profit. No employment prior due to beings a SAHM.

We are looking at properties around the 225k mark and have between a 20 and a 25 per cent deposit.

No other debts and perfect credit history. 3 children.

Thank you in advance

    This should be possible, its not reliant on your income too much.

    Its impossible to say whats the best mortgage as there is nowhere near enough info on here. If you want advice your best speaking to an advisor and letting them go through a fact find with you.
