    I would recommend that he applies for a mortgage now as by going guarantor for your CU loan he would be responsible for repayments if you default. This could also hinder his chances of getting a CU loan in his name in the future until your loan is fully repaid and could tie up his savings CU until loan is repaid.

    Yes it will affect his application. If he applies for a mortgage now and gets approved, he's obliged to notify the lender if his financial circumstances change between approval being granted, and completion of the mortgage (ie he completes the purchase of the property). So if he applies for the mortgage now, and goes guarantor on your loan in a fortnight, he'll still have to tell the bank, and they will re-assess his application based on the new information. It may or may not affect the amount he's approved for, it would depend on the amount your loan is for.
