Too many associated addresses?

Options
Going to be applying for a mortgage in the next 6 months or so and looking at the various hiccups likely to happen.


From 2002 - 2009 I moved around a lot - changed student flats regularly, had spells back home and at a flat my mum owned. I then lived abroad for a few years before returning in 2014 and have lived in 2 places since then.


There's no defaults, not a single missed payment on my credit file and my Experian score is a healthy 975 (though I know this doesn't really mean anything). However, am I likely to face some difficult questions because I've moved around a lot in the past?

    You may only need to key the last 2 address, worst case scenario should be 3 (the property abroad). Lenders wont be interested in anything over 6 years.

    Some lenders may have issues, but in the main I think you will be fine. You may get asked about it but that will be all.
