With a deposit so low I don't think you have a chance Lee.

Based on the information you have now given there is no chance of you getting a mortgage at the moment - you have 2 or 3 years minimum of hard work ahead of you (repairing and saving) before you will be able to do so.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Ignore credit scores... i say it time and time again. The score is pointless!
You can have a good score but with a DMP you will find it very difficult to get a mortgage. It may be your partner is in a better position to get a mortgage.
But with a DMP, anything shy of fully satisfied and atleast a 25-30% deposit and you really will struggle. I would still say its best to have a couple of years between the DMP and any application. I would also work towards a 30% deposit.
As for the new help to buy thing, i dont think the lenders who would accept the DMP are part of that scheme... atleast not at the moment.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
