    you would be looking at anywhere between 3.5 - 5x your income. However if you work on 4 x that should give you the most choice.

    Do you have a deposit?

    well it depends on what deposit you can supply to what income multiples you will get. It also depends when the ccj was settled.

    anything house price above 100k and you would be looking at less than 10% deposit. If it has been setttled, it shouldnt be a huge problem.

    Waiting a year may help so you dont even have to disclose it but many lenders will do it now. Rates may be higher and fees higher. Do you have other debts as this will effect the amount you can borrow.

    I would go and see a broker but with no debts 120-150k seem feasible. Whether you can afford to repay is a different question.

    Check with a broker and get a feel for the repayments.
