Hi Estelle,
Giving up your normal job completely could create issues for some lenders.
Some do not concern themselves at all with personal income or work histories. Others will require minimum trading times if self employed (unless the self employment is a similar one to previous full time job)
Please feel free to call or email me if you would like me to explain the
BMV process and an overview of the main
BMV lenders and thier criteria.
Rgds
