How much of a house deposit did you put down?

I am just getting to the point where I may, at some point, be able to buy a house. I have been saving for ages, and will see a mortgage broker soon.
But because I'm nosy- what was your deposit, and what was the worth of your house? And roughly, what's your income?
(I am self employed so am a bit worried that it'll be hard for me to get a mortgage...)

10% on my first flat
In Glasgow £3.4k in 2000, and I actually took a loan out from another bank to cover deposit. 10k on 86k house in 2003. Started working for my self in 2007 and rented and moved a lot for a number of years. Bought current house £350k outright in 2014.

100% mortgage-seemed fairly mad and reckless 20 years ago, now it looks like the best plan ever!

I really feel for people trying to buy anywhere now.
