HomeBuy scheme post Bankruptcy

in Bankruptcy & living with it
Hi,

I have been discharged for a number of years now and my BR is due to drop off my file in November 2013 ....

I was wondering - in terms of schemes like HomeBuy/Newbuy, what would be the chances of a former bankrupt being accepted as an applicant? I know they have some blurb about having a good credit history - since BR I have had a good history, have paid bills on time, even have a credit card which I have paid in full every month for the last year or so, and have built up some savings ....

What do you think?

    Someone recently posted about being accepted on one of these schemes just after the 6 year mark, with a mortgage with Halifax.
