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    You risk having your offer withdrawn if your case is audited and the search comes to light.

    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 history :)
