    Congratulations on the mortgage!

    Could I ask who your default was with initially? Im assuming it was not with Halifax themselves?

    Thanks for letting me know :) what were the amounts of default Torfoxwell? and what percentage of deposit you'll be putting down? my default is from December 2012 :-/ I wonder if that's considered historic, so glad you had a fantastic broker who could really help :)
