    When did you go into your overdraft and are you getting a mortgage from the same bank as your current account?  (i.e can the mortgage provider actually see the overdraft?)

    Frankly I think it won't be a problem if they've already agreed the mortgage based on years of good account management.  Banks know that people have extra expenses when moving so I expect it is relatively common to either hit the overdraft or up the amount owing on credit cards.

    Doubt it, you would have to be extremely marginal to get the mortgage and unless the mortgage is with the same provider I can’t see them finding out for a month anyway. When I was a first time buyer my broker told me to close my £6k stooze pot, frustratingly the purchase proceeded very smoothly and was done 2days before the 0% card showed as payed off.
