Drop in credit score because of address change

I’m waiting to complete on a property, but my credit score on Experian has dropped to from 994 to 989, as I had to change my to my parent’s address whilst I wait to complete. Unfortunately I’m not on the electoral roll at my parents address, so it’s led to the drop.
It’s marked as a negative factor. Could this drop affect the final checks that the bank does before completion?
As when I applied for the mortgage it wasn’t an issue. I was on the electoral roll at my rental address.

Experian credit score has no bearing on your mortgage application0

Ignore the 'score'. It's just a made up number that nobody apart from you and Experian can see.0

The number won't make a scrap of difference, its pretty much made up.
Not sure on the electoral roll thing, might be worth asking on the mortgages board, there are a few knowledgable brokers on there.0 -

More education is required I think.0
