Current Acc whilst Mortgage in process????

Hi all,
I have recently received news of my mortgage application being approved, the valuation is happening today and we are set to exchange next Friday:j.
I want to apply for a Halifax Reward Current Account and see that there intro offer ends around the 15th of July, therefore my question is - will this application affect my credit file and have any implications on my mortgage offer, or as it is only a current account (i don't want or need an overdraft facility on acc) will it be ok??
Any advice appreciated!!

Do not do it!
Do not do anything which involves a credit search until AFTER your mortgage COMPLETES.
You risk having your offer withdrawn if your case is audited and the search comes to light.I am a mortgage broker.

Once you have completed i.e. paid all the money to the seller. You can do whatever you like but I wouldn't suggest on trashing your credit history0
