However we were then asked how much our Bankruptcy was for (350 k) the lender said because the amount was so high we would need a 50% deposit. !!........ No chance !!!! My question is has anyone had any luck with obtaining a mortgage after Bankruptcy, is it the norm that such a large deposit is required due to the amount of the Bankruptcy ?. Think my dream of owning my own home again has finally been shattered !!!! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
