Getting a mortgage after BR and repossession

Posts: 1,586 Forumite
Bought a house with 2 family members in 2006, they moved and stopped paying in 2008 leaving me to pay it all. I couldn’t afford it and the house was repossessed by RBS in 2009 and I also went bankrupt in 2009 as I had no choice and discharged in 2010.
the debts included in BR:
RBS mortgage
Santander car finance
Store card from Burtons
Loan from HSBC
Since then I’ve kept a clean credit file and had several credit cards, loans and car finance from high street banks at low interest rates. No debt o/s.
Incidentally I do have full current accounts with Santander and Lloyds, also had car finance, loan and credit cards from Lloyds since discharge.
I have saved the equivalent of a 30% deposit for a house in the region of 170k
annual salary 30k
What are my chances of getting a mortgage? Will I be subject to high interest from subprime lenders?

Are there certain lender who won’t touch me?
Has anyone else good any “good news” stories from being in a similar position?

I think you would get a high street or near rate but go with a broker, they will know what terms a lender treats a bankruptee of plus six years, this will save you applying to those whose conditions you don't meet. Read this for a bit more info

I think you will be fine. Its a long time ago, all cleared, good deposit, not run up a load of debt which shows your responsible and unlikely to get bankrupt again.

I probably wouldn't go with RBS or HSBC though. They will probably remember your default and not want to lend.0
