Getting a mortgage with mortgage arrears

What if the arrears have been cleared
If your mortgage is up to date but arrears are still registered on your credit report there is every possibility you could secure a mortgage,
however the loan to value (LTV) will more than likely be below 85%. The majority of lenders will consider the reason for the arrears and whether that
situation has been resolved,
