Mortgage Advice

Options
I am about to buy my first property.
As there was no time to raise a mortgage as it was by auction, I have had to borrow £200,000 off my parents. I am fortunate enough that they are going to gift me £50,000, so I need to repay them £150,000.
Property value is £220'000.
First issue is that I am self employed and only have only one years worth of accounts, but also I have been told I would not be a first time buyer (mortgage-wise) as I technically already own the property.
I need to repay my parents in 6 months time (giving me a bit of time to sort things out).
Any advice anyone could give me would be really appreciated as this doesn't seem to be that straightforward and I don't want to take the wrong route/bad advice.
Thank you :)

    A broker.
    1 years accounts and remortgaging within 6 months of buying is not an easy mix to overcome. It can be, but it is probably not going to be one for a high street lender.

    I would not go as far as to say you NEED a broker, but without one, you are probably going to be wasting a lot of time trying to find a lender who will do it.
