Mortgage application with fair credit, 6yr old default about to come off and 10 pay day loans

Options
Hi
I have been going through the forums to try and find a similar position as someone else but have struggled to do so as most have been joint mortgage cases and not single applicants.

I am at the beginning stages of potentially moving to a new home. I have been asked to use the developments broker who have provided me with an AIP.

Before I go ahead with anything I wanted to see if anyone can help me with making that decision and not putting myself and others through unnecessary stress or trouble.

I have 1 default on my credit file of £380 from a catalogue company which is due to come off at the end of November 2019. In addition to this I have 9 payday loans from 2012 and 1 in 2015. These were all for amounts below £500 apart from 1 which was £800.

I currently have 1 hire purchase agreement which I pay £162pm and this will finish in December 2020. I also have a 0% credit card with a balance of £2200 but this will be paid before mortgage commences. I have an overdraft of £250 and I only go in this by around £50 but not every month.

I am employed full time, permanent and earn £34600 which has been increased to £36500 but this has not taken place yet.

I have ran a report from check my file and equifax shows x1 default and x1 pay day loan. Experian only shows x1 default no pay day loans and transunion has everything.

I was hoping someone might be able to help and let me know if I am being too optimistic with a mortgage completing or if there is hope.

House price is £206000 and I have a deposit of £50000/£55000. I have an existing mortgage of £64000 with barclays which I pay £420 towards.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

    The default and PDL activity is unlikely to be a deal-breaker.

    Run your details through a few lender affordability calculators to see what the outputs are like.

  • Thanks kingstreet.

    I have ran affordability calcs on Halifax and natwest and both have given me £10000 more than I would need.
