Mortgage 8 years after DRO

Options
About to apply for a mortgage - do I have to disclose that I had a DRO (8 years since end of moratorium) even if it has been removed from the register and my file?

I'm fortunate enough to have a deposit that takes me over 50% and my credit rating is now very good. For most lenders would this outweigh the past DRO?

    It depends what question the provider asks. Some ask have you ever been bankrupt or been insolvent? Other ask if your are bankrupt or insolvent.
