Mortgage app - will these be an issue?

Hello

Really quick one.

We have sold my fiances property and temporarily moved in with parents so as to be "chain free" (and because it's taken a year to sell and we didn't want to risk losing the buyer). We are now looking at properties to buy - if we apply for a mortgage say in the next month will it be a major issue that my fiance is shown on the electoral roll at her old address (we have applied for the change but it takes a couple of months apparently)?

Secondly, I am a police officer with about 8 years service. I am due to transfer this month from one force to another, which I imagine counts as a new employer and thus new job? There is no probationary period or anything, I simply continue at the same rank and salary for a new force. Again, is this likely to cause an issue in the mortgage application?

Very briefly, the circs are 220k property on 72k combined income, 10% deposit, no adverse credit. Looking at Britannia "share to buy" 3.79% lifetime discount.

Many thanks for any pearls of wisdom

Joe
