My credit rating was ropey when I got a 100% mortgage from Natwest a few years ago. No defaults but a few late payments up to 4 months late. Best thing to do is go somewhere and ask for objective advice without going through an application.0

100% mortgages tend to be pretty strict with their underwriting. However, depending on the amounts, and how long they have been resigesered, you may still get a 100% despite the mis-haps on your credit file

There are two lenders that will explicitly consider "adverse" credit 100% deals (Future Mortgages and First National/IGroup) depending on the level of adverse. If the adverse credit is old/satisfied then you may be able to access a 100% product aimed at "Prime" borrowers, it will depend on a number of factors. However as Herbie says, if they are lending 100% you will tend to find that the high street lenders do understandably err on the side of caution.0

You may be Ok. Credit scoring criteria is different for mortgages than loans/credit cards.0
