    It depends on the adverse. 
    A 5 year old satisfied default, you will probably get normal rates. A 5 month old default and probably not. 

    There are a couple of lenders out there, but I have heard that there are one or 2 lenders who do adverse that will be launching RTB products at some point this year, probably the first half of the year.

    Can you not wait until September? 
    You will stand a better chance of being accepted normal rates.

    The £25k will probably be an issue also. Many of the more specialist lenders have minimum loan amounts of £50-75k. 
    It is probably worth speaking to a broker or maybe an unsecured loan? I am not sure if you can use an unsecured loan for the purposes of buying a home but it might be an option and could even be cheaper than some of the mortgages you may be looking at now.
