Hi all
So my partner and I are beginning to put plans together to try to get a mortgage and I know that one of the barriers will be that I'm dreadful at staying out of my overdraft. I know it just takes discipline etc etc. so please no advice on this part as I just feel my life is too chaotic to be on the ball enough to manage it.
My question is, if I begin banking with a credit union, so that I don't have an overdraft to fall back on, would the credit union banking be frowned upon when I apply for a mortgage.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. A lender would consider that if you struggle to maintain a basic current account, how would their sizeable mortgage fare.I am a Mortgage Broker.

Sorry, so I guess what I am asking is, will doing my banking with a credit union or basic bank account rather than a regular bank account be viewed badly? Thanks0
