Will a short term change of address hurt my credit rating?

Hi everyone, I’m going to be applying for a mortgage at the end of this year, but in the meantime will have to move to a new address before I apply (so around 3 months in a short term house). If I change my address now will it hurt my credit rating? I’ve been living as a private tenant in my current property for 8 years and credit rating is really good so I don’t want to ruin it with a short term address change, should I just redirect my post and not change the address with any of my accounts etc?? : / any help or advice much appreciated!

Your credit rating is just a fictional number that no one sees, so not worthy of concern.
For three months, I would keep thing simple and just do a mail redirection.0 -
Have to agree with zx81. For 3 months, you may as well just do the mail redirection.0
