Address change for mortgages

Hi, I've changed my address for everything except libraries as I still like my old library and don't want them to say I can no longer be a member! Will not changing my address with 1 library matter when I apply for a mortgage? Thanks!

    How on earth would a mortgage company know you haven't changed your library card?

    If, by some chance, your library card account is a credit account with the library (most likely it isn’t!) it might have a record with a credit reference agency. 😛

    More seriously, though, you can check that all the accounts a lender would care about have the right address, by getting your credit files, eg your Experian one with MSE Credit Club.
