Mortgage with defaults

A well trodden topic I know - but here goes!
Wondering on our chances of approval of a mortgage with a High Street lender and therefore a decent rate.
Joint application with my wife who has very good credit history/score.
I however have 3 defaults, over 5 years old (so dropping off my credit file in around 10 months) all satisfied around 4 years ago and clean credit since.
We have over 50k income per year and I'm in long-term stable job.
We only need to borrow around 40k as a 30% ltv as we have 70% saved.
I believe we are in a strong position with that large deposit and good affordability but still afraid to put in an offer in case the defaults are a straight black mark in obtaining the loan.
Thoughts/advice most welcome guys....go for it or wait till my 6 years are up?
Thanks

Yes, it's possible, I just got approved for a mortgage [15% deposit though] with a specialist lender with 10 CCJs and 10 defaults - it's possible, but you might need to go through the mortgage broker specializing in adverse credit. They would ask for a larger deposit, and as long as you don't have other debt you definitely get a chance
