Car accident and mortgage application

So I have just submitted my mortgage application. (This afternoon) and on my way home from work was hit by a lorry.

All good - just in hospital now getting checked over.

Do I need to tell my mortgage broker / bank what happened. It wasn’t my fault, i was stationary and got hit from behind.

It won’t affect my work so won’t affect my finances but I don’t want to jeprodise our mortgage.

Thanks

  • no need to inform them unless it impacts on your financial circumstances
  • If you have already submitted your application, I wouldn't tell them....

    Not something you need to declare with respect to your mortgage.

    If you have sustained an injury you would declare that on any personal insurance application.
