Mortgage Application- Overdraft
Hi everyone- some help, advice and reassurance please!
My partner and I (first time buyers) have put an offer in on a house. We have got a mortgage in principle from Barclays for £152k based on having a 5% deposit of £8k for a £160k purchase. If our offer is accepted by the seller, then obviously we need to get started on a mortgage application.
We are both in steady, permanent employment- I am a teacher earning £25,373 per year and he is a customer service advisor earning £17,500 per year plus bonuses.
My only concern is that up until last month, I was living in my arranged, fee-free overdraft. I have never exceeded the arranged overdraft amount. I have just paid this off in full using savings.
Other than this, I have never been charged fees on my account, neither of us have ever missed a direct debit payment, and we both have good credit scores.
Will this recently used overdraft be a problem? As mentioned, it is now paid off in full, we have our deposit ready in a Lifetime ISA and I have just been paid so have a full wage in my bank account.
Thank you!
