Paranoia or bad credit

Hello all
Hope you all can give some advise. Shortly me and my wife will be applying for a mortgage (help to buy with 5% deposit) we do have a couple of blips. The paranoid me thinks these might scupper a mortgage but I’m probably overacting. To summarise for my wife:
One late payment in 2013
One late payment in 2014
Both for less than £50 for a catalogue
And for me a late payment on a bank account in 2013 due to exceeding overdraft by less than £50
Any thoughts?

Should be fine with most lenders I think.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

From a non-mortgage advisor point of view, I understand this should be okay! My credit history was far from perfect, however, here I am now a happy home owner. Good luck
