Don't know if anyone's been through the same here, but I'm having a few issues sorting a mortgage out.
  The basic jist is that although the various companies don't require too much detail re: earnings, they'll only lend 85% of the value of the property. 

 Even on a cheap house that's a huge chunk of cash to find. Add on top the inevitable stamp duty + solicitors fees and there's no way I'm getting on the ladder for years to come. Can anyone recommend a method of either: 
 a) getting a 90-95% mortgage as a company director?
 b) reducing the total fees so I can add more to the deposit? 
 Cheers, 
 Ali
