How likely am I to get a mortgage

Hi

I am wanting to apply for my first mortgage. I have two defaults from April 2012 both under 1k and settled. I have one from wonga for 250 settled in march 2015( stupidity know).

My partner has one default from 19 months ago for 4k credit card and settled.

I have an overdraft of 2000k and no other debts. My salary is 22,475 I am a nurse, I have been in employment since sept 2014. My partner salary is 70,000 and he has been employed at the same place for five years. We have a £20,000 deposit and we are looking to borrow £150,000.

Am I likely to be approved following my silly mistakes

Thanks in advance

    There is no point speculating here.

    Go see an independent broker and they will roadmap/timescale what will be possible and when.

    Defaults in the last two years are going to mean nothing will be available now at high street rates.

    Yes! I have just found this out! The default will change everything. Best thing to do is go to a broker. I'd suspect they will put you through with presice..
