You won't get a top rated deal if you have been bankrupt unless a lot of time has passed (10 years +) and you have a lot of equity (50%+). You will also need all the paperwork from the bankruptcy especially proof of discharge.
Your best hope is to get a 'high street' rate. That is from a main stream lender. A&L will sometimes do mortgages for bankrupts (min 10% deposit) but they can be very choosy. C&G will do the same but they ask for 25% deposit and a lot of paperwork, explanations. In both cases you need to get a face to face appointment as their online route kicks you off if you've been bankrupt.
After that (as you know) you are in sub prime territory. Between 1 and 2% above the high street rates IE 7% right now would be brilliant, I've seen 9.25%.
