Mortgage lender credit checks

Hi. I've paid off my credit card and updated all my cards to my current address. Experian/equifax are still showing the Old stuff and I guess won't update until the monthly update? If I were to apply for a mortgage now would the lender still see the old information or would they contact the credit lenders for up to date info? Cheers

Cheers. What I am getting at is at the credit check stage, do they just look at experien etc? And are credit checks usually done before an AIP?0

Yes they are.
You have 2 options, wait and do it next month or you can do it now and then send proof (statements) showing that the balance has been cleared.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.
