Hi, we finished our IVA in July 2011, completion certificate received a week later. It dropped off our credit files in December 2011. Since then we've been working hard to build our credit rating. We want to apply for a mortgage, and have 10% deposit. Is it worth trying a high street lender now our credit reports are good? Or do we need to find a specialist lender?

Personally I'd have a word with Ryan, our mortgage expert. He has helped several posters on here. His details can be found under the 'Ask experts a question' link on the left hand side of the page.

Yes, but was back in 2011, before all the PPI problems that seem

You can try a normal lender but I would still recommend speaking to Ryan for some free advice.

I would ask your own bank informally before looking at sub prime high interest loans.

His advice is free so it doesn't hurt to speak to him first - you don't have to go with him.
