Worth applying for a mortgage yet?

Hi
My boyfriend and I are currently saving for a deposit but want to apply for a mortgage and see what we can get. He has recently been turned down for a loan and a phone contract, will this have a major impact on what we can borrow, and will we need a larger deposit than usual? If so, what sort of percentage?
He earns £19000, i earn £18152 (NHS, Don't ask!) and we have nearly 10k so far. Looking at houses around 100k
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks

Have you got copies of your credit files, to make sure there are no problems on there?I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

If you cannot get a couple of hundred quid credit for a mobile phone contract, you have no chance of a mortgage. Get your credit files and stop applying for credit.0
