Chance of getting a mortgage if registered to vote at old address?

I was registered to vote at house A which has just been sold. I've changed my address for bank statements to house B, and am going to register to vote at house B, but rang up the local council and they said that registration is not instant, and I've just missed the deadline, the next 'update' date for the register of voters is in June.
I want to buy house C, will the fact I'm registered to vote at the wrong place mean I won't get a mortgage?

When did you move out of House A? As long as you have 3 years address history and the discrepancies are not more than 6 or 8 weeks, you should be fine IMOHi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Under 3 weeks ago. So hopefully it will be OK. I'll give the broker a ring tomorrow then!0

Shouldn't make any difference, unless everything else is borderline.I am a mortgage adviser.You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
