Moving multiple times before buying?

We've had to move house (renting) several times in the last 3 years and we're currently saving for a deposit in the hopes of buying within the next 6-12 months
Would all this moving affect the chances of getting a mortgage? All were for completely valid reasons:
1st time was relocation for a job - 6 months
2nd time - 1st house was sold from under us (crap estate agents) and the landlord moved us into one of his other houses - 6 months
3rd time - car was vandalised/house terrorised by kids playing at neighbouring park - 4 months?
4th time - 3rd house is riddled with damp, which was covered up by again, crap estate agents - 12 months
Each time we have done all the right things, registered on electoral role etc.
We may not be moving for the 4th time but considering how bad it is we're not keen on staying there over winter and this time would only be for 6 months before we buy.
