    For anyone else interested, I called nationwide and it seems they would treat me using their self employed criteria (which is clearly not what I want). This is contrary to what I have read elsewhere.

    My broker has got me an Agreement in Principle from Pepper Money who appear to be pretty good at understanding unique working situations, though there are reports on here of them taking a while to process the application but this is due to their specialist nature. Worth checking them out, their website is pretty transparent about their fees and mortgage options.

    Can't vouch for the actual success of getting the mortgage - maybe if this thread is still alive in a few weeks!

    I also never ended up using either broker I mentioned previously, I used one with Mortgage Advice Bereau (which I think is an umbrella of lots of independent brokers who agree to a certain standard operating procedure). Their fees are less but still not as low as I suspect an independent broker would be.
