@squarehead94 This shouldn't be an issue.squarehead94 said:@K_S quick question, so I hadn't realised at the time that FD were doing a hard search on me (I assumed this would be at the mortgage appt stage, however I suppose my fault for not thoroughly checking their processes) I'm now sticking with the broker recommended Nationwide deal - and they have submitted my application. Do you envisage this hard search to be an issue with Nationwide? I only ask as my Credit Score dropped 70 points on Clearscore following the addition of the hard search via First Direct.
