Not a stupid question - unfortunately no, savings accounts do not help to build your credit file up. But having savings in terms of as high a deposit as possible is advantageous in terms of a mortgages.
Do you have/had any credit cards, loans or mobile phone contracts? If so and they have been managed correctly then this will have helped build a credit history.0 -
thankyou - no some of the accounts not managed correctly in the past
will be ensuring that doesn't happen again - think my only hope is to save a good sized deposit 0
