Declined Halifax Mortgage / Help to Buy checks

Options
Halifax have declined my mortgage application because during their searches, they found that two years ago I dissolved a company which had an outstanding HMRC amount.  I'm worried all high street lenders will take the same view? Its kinda going against me personally as bankruptcy / insolvency.
Also, does the Help to Buy Equity Loan do the same credit checks?

  • Do you think the same problem will arise with all lenders?  Its an old company dissolved two years ago.  My present company has 6 years of growth and my earnings have increased each year.  I have a good credit score and report.  I had no idea this was even going to show and it was an instant decline.
