When will mortgage show up on my credit file?

Options
Hello All.

Any advice or tips would be very helpful.

I am due to complete on 23.12.2019. I am a first time buyer and my experian credit is currently on 929.

I want to apply for a 0% purchases card so i can buy a few items for the house, but I was wondering when is the best time to apply for a new credit?

Should i do it before the mortgage shows on my credit file or after?

I am going to wait till i have the keys in my hand, before i do anything, but i was finking due to it be xmas period that they probably wont put on my file till the new year.

Any advice or tips will be helpful.

    After completion. Further credit checks maybe noticed by your mortgage lender prior.
