Mortgage with bad credit rating

Anyone know if there will be a mortgage deal next year for ex bankrupt (discharged January 2012) who is self employed, and wife with bad credit rating? If we sell current house and buy smaller one -could put down £200k, but would need mortgage for approx £100k. Any chance or none at all?:(

    Ok, specialist subject.

    With a big deposit such as that, there will always be a solution although it will not be necessarily cheap.

    I would suggest you need to find a decent broker, once you have got your 3 credit files, Experian, Equifax and Call Credit.

    Good luck though and go in with your eyes open as this will be difficult and likely to be expensive.

    All the best
