Hard Search Impact on Mortgage

Hi All,
I was wondering if someone can help me to understand that is there any impact of hard search for opening a current account without availing any credit facility on mortgage application. I am in process of getting mortgage but want to switch 1 of my current account to a package account to get the offer before it ends.

    There can be. It's normally minimal, but you need to decide if it's a risk worth taking, however small.

    I personally am not applying for any new credit until I get the keys to a property, it's not worth the risk for such a small sum of money.

    Don’t do it. Another deal will be along once your mortgage is drawn down and safe.
