    Unlikely but potentially. 
    Some lenders do hard footprint credit checks, most dont though. 

    It might be worth just checking beforehand.

    There was a thread the other day that mentioned if you are declined on a joint mortgage application (rather than DIP) the bank concerned won’t then except a solo application from either applicant in the same property.

    Is this a first purchase, if so I would highly recommend getting a local broker as our one seriously helped clear the waters on our first purchase.
