    Depending on the exact detail, I would fancy a solution here.

    The deposit is likely to come under some scrutiny, so long as it can be verified suggest you hunt down a recommended broker...

    All the best

    Wait until you have been trading a year then see a specialist broker who handles self employed applications regularly.

    Can see why you want to tie up 250k when you have just started a business.

    I disagree, you will not get market leading rates but there will be a solution.

    You additionally will face issues around your deposit source, assuming you are not co-owner of Mums current property.

    You need a resourceful broker

    Best of luck
