Anti-Money Laundering/Identification Check

Afternoon all.

Just a quick question, I do a fair amount of online gambling, so have a few Anti-Money Laundering & Identification Check searches on my Noodle credit check.

When I come to remortgage next year, will these be to a detriment to the application? or is it only credit application checks that knock your score?

Many thanks in advance

    Those searches on your credit file should not have any impact on getting accepted for credit.

    However if the online gaming is evident on your bank statements then this could potentially be a concern to a new mortgage lender, depending on the amounts involved.

    So hold off from transferring money in/out of the sites for a good 5 months before getting a new mortgage then?

    Thanks
