    There are very few reasons that need a joint account.

    Our  only ones were required for the mortgage by the lender.


  • Need was the wrong word. We'd like to open a joint account.

    We applied for a joint account between application and offer. Didn't think about it before we applied for the account but felt nervous afterwards. There was no issue as the credit check was done before the joint account application and we had no second check. No idea what would have happened if they did recheck. I'd wait and sort it after completion for peace of mind.

    Wait.

    No reason to introduce uncertainty and changes.

    Once you have the joint mortgage there is a connection.
