I have a mortgage but want to re mortgage and need a lot more I was speaking to my mortgage broker and he reckons he can get me a self certified mortgage. Basically they don't multiply your salary by x amount they go on how much they think you can afford.
I think you will need at least 5% deposit for one of these though as its more of a risk to them.
Worth asking about though

when someone I know looked into this the deposit had to be at least 15%.

Based on the amount of mortgage you mentioned you can get. I think you may struggle to do all the above on your own. Personally I would think about cutting down on things such as Sky+, Gym and even internet (until you are settled)
Isn't there anyone else who can go half with you as it would help alot? I know for sure I couldn't cope without my gf's wage.
The total outgoings for my 2 bed flat is £1200 a month, I earn about £1350 take home a month so I would be very short of £'s if I didn't have the birds cash

I can live without ...
Gym
Mobile phone
Sky+
Home phone
internet
Which takes my outgoings down a bit, i earn enough to pay mortgage, bills and have some left for clothes etc, and money to put back into my ISA in case my car explodes

yeah, you also have to take into account that even if youknow you can afford it a bank would possibly say different, as they cant take too much of a risk.

you need a directly authorised advisor
appointed reps are usually with a mortgage network who have a panel of preffered lenders
however no matter which advisor you go to they will do a fact find about you and your circumstances and advise you on the most ideal mortgage package to suit your needs and then use mortgage sourcing systems to source the best deal for you
they will then produce what is called a key facts illustration which tells you the key facts about the mortgage i.e monthly payments, interest paid, what will happen if the interest rate goes up, any fees you have to pay
then you can make your own educated choice to which lender you go with.
something else to remember, advisors are given special deals by lenders to put business through them this means that some deals available to you through the advisor are not available if you go directly to the lender.
the good thing about using an advisor however is they will put the case to the lender and track the application through to completion.
most advisors do not charge for this service because they get paid by the lender instead 
Happy to answer any questions anyone has

That will mean feck all, they go by what you earn and the risk of the lending. If you only earn £13k or whatever then you aint gonna be able to afford an £80k mortgage, i earn £25k and in my first 3 years struggled with an £80k one.
£80k mortgage is gonna be in the region of £500 a month and add another £300 odd for usual outgoings then add your other spending, phone/car/shopping/food and you'll soon realise you wont be able to afford it unless you have no life for a couple of years

The good news is now is a good time to get a mortgage if you can find a cheap house.
Just make sure you can manage if the rates go up, or fix for a while.

Actually you are wrong
some underwriters do assess on affordability when looking at income stretch
