Can I get a mortgage even if I have a bad credit history?

Yes you can, even if you have been made bankrupt, have a CCJ or an IVA. Depending on your history and current income, it may be difficult to find a provider willing to give you a mortgage but it is certainly possible.

You will probably face a higher APR and a shorter term to the debt.
