    It will definitely have an affect, although depending upon your overall risk profile will depend on mortgage application.

    Try and stay clean for a few months and it is easy erradicated.

    All the best...

    Use your savings if necessary in future. Exceeding an overdraft limit suggests poor financial management. Which from a perspective lenders point of view would be a concern. You need to demonstrate that you are a good risk to lend to.
