Mortgage with default on PDL

Hi I had some money issues 6 years ago which results in a cycle of pay day loans a few of those with defaults. I paid all my debts off 5 years ago. I now earn £65k a year, have had no missed payments in 5 years now. Am I likely to be accepted a mortgage ? I have a mortgage in principle with Halifax and 10% deposit. Unsure whether I need to wait another year but have seen a house which I’ve fallen in love. Any advice welcome. Thank you 😊

    You should have options. 
    The halifax DIP is generally quite reliable. But even if that declines, there should be other lenders.

    If halifax give dip fine
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
