    You should be fine.
    The details on the default will determine your options - how much was it for, what was it for, has it been satisfied. If a small amount and satisfied normal rates should be achievable. If a large amount and not satisfied then you may struggle to get normal rates until it drops off - but on the face of it, getting a Mortgage will be possible.

  • As ACG has said, you should obtain a mortgage its just the details of the default which will determine the interest rate available

    Can you wait until the default comes off your file.


    It will improve your options. Also use the extra time to pay your unsecured debt down some more.
