Applying for Finance just after accepting another agreement

I've recently been accepted for finance for an item worth £1000 and was wondering if this will have any effect on me applying for finance with another company/broker in the next few weeks?

My credit score is fine with no missed payments etc, but will applying for finance in a short space of time (even though accepted) effect my next chance ?

Many thanks

    Yes, it could.

    It could but it will depend if the new finance is reported as activated yet, or still showing as the credit search.

    The credit search may have a minimal impact but I wouldn't expect that to result in a decline. If the credit agreement is being reported as active, then they new application will take that into account when considering affordability and exposure.
