    @sls19 Generally speaking, as long as you have at least a year's accounts for your new business, closing your old profitable business *should not* stop you from getting a mortgage. However, your choice of lenders and rates will likely shrink as you may be restricted to using lenders who will use a bit of common sense underwriting and take your old business into account when assessing your case.

    Sadly, your income vs property prices isn't realistic unless you up your income.
