I have been abroad for 3+ years, but I am British and have had my wages paid (no UK tax paid on it) into my UK bank - can I get a mortgage?

I want to buy a house back in the UK after 5+ years way, I still have a UK address for post etc... and my salary has been paid into a UK bank account... but when I approached my bank (First Direct) for a mortgage, despite a 35% deposit they still refused me as I had not paid UK taxes. Who can I get a decent mortgage from now?
