Housing Benefits and Mortgage application

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi there, I hope someone can advise. I will soon be in the lucky situation of being able to buy a property with my girlfriend. We will both receive large cash gifts towards this from our parents. Although we should be able to buy a place we are happy with outright, I am also interested in making a small mortgage application. Before that happens however, I am struggling with my rent payments and am considering applying for housing benefit.
So my query is, will taking housing benefit now affect any mortgage applications I need to make in the future? My credit record is good.
Many thanks in advance,
justmoney
