Mortgage after a DRO

Options
Hello! 

I am due to be discharged from a DRO later this year. 

I wondered if anyone has any advice on how long it is likely to be before I am accepted for a mortgage, and what steps I can take to help this. 
I assume the usual electoral role, using a credit card and paying it in full each month. 

Any advice/ knowledge would be appreciated

    It'll depend on the state of your credit files, as well as your deposit and affordability.

    But with a DRO on your files, it will be challenging.

    Start by checking the state of your three files.
