Mortgage Application - on the Electoral Roll question

HI There -

I am currently go through a Mortgage application and the lenders have questioned the Electoral Roll situation

I have been on the Electoral Roll since June 2019 so no problems there :) , however for 2 years previous I had a temp split in a relationship and I was living at parents so was not on Electoral Roll (in hindsight this was an error)

We are putting down 15% deposit on 220k house 

Really panicking now as they have questioned it
Does anyone think this will be a problem with getting a mortgage ?
