My friend is looking for a mortgage for £250k and has £100k deposit. He has a new business (2 years old) with only 1 years accounts that show very little profit.

Can he get a mortgage?

I remember being in a similar situation in 2002 and got a buy to let mortgage even though it was my main house but I don't
if that option is still open?

Any advice / pointers for him is much appreciated

Thanks

Ok, thanks Sarnie, I will pass it on. Is it worth me putting him in touch with you?
