Advice needed please on mortgages

Hi All,

just a quick question (not sure if theres a quick answer) but me and my partner are looking to get our 1st mortgage. I'm just wondering if you have an overdraft does that give you a bad credit rating?

Any advice appreciated,

thanks
Emma

    Having an overdraft facility does not give you a bad credit rating - being in your overdraft all the time on the other hand can affect things - it shows you are not managing your month to month finances. If it affects your applications for a mortgage enough to be bad... anyones guess...
