advice on defaults

Options
Trying to get a mortgage but have a default which will be six years old in August 2015. The default was £1711 satisfied in jan 2013.

No late payments for the last two years.

Earnings for my husband and me are 55, 000.

We want a mortgage for around 199, 000, we have a 15% deposit.

Sufficient savings of around 15, 000.

Can anyone advise on the liklihood of obtaining a mortgage and at a decent rate?

    There will be lenders who would accept it now subject to everything else stacking up. Potentially at normal high street rates.

    It could be worth having a chat with a broker?

    ACG is correct, a broker will be able to assist you.
