Congratulations on your new home! Always exciting to move, but it costs so much to get everything hooked up and working.
Grace periods vary from lender to lender, which is why some people indicate they have a 15 days and others say they have 10 days. My bank only gives us 5.
If this is something where you get paid on the first and have to wait for your bank to process your check before you send payments out, and it is always going to be this way, call your lender and make arrangements to have your payment due on the 3rd or the 5th.
This happened to me on my first house, and my lender was really nice and switched it right over. - the first payment was a little more (five days more interest), the rest were the same as listed in my closing papers.

You need to read the agreement, most lenders do have a due date and then a latter date, usually 2 weeks latter, after which a late pay fee will be charged. This bill is usually best to set up with lender on an automatic payment plan. They will typically pull on last day before late pay. This is one payment you don't want to be late with, late pay fees are high.

It probably wont hurt. Most have a grace period for up to 14 days before you get a penalty fee.
Besides that, even if you got a penalty fee, it would not harm your credit score. Credit bureaus have only limited options: Pays on time, 30 days late, 60 days late, 90 days late, etc.
You'd have to pay 30 days late to get the late pay on your report and hurt your score.

Your particular mortgage will detail any grace period. If it states that you must pay by the 1st, then it will be late and will show up on your credit report.
Read back through the loan paperwork you signed or call your mortgage broker to find out the requirements.

You should check with your lender. I know for mine it is due by the 1st and late by the 15th. So you may have a couple weeks before it is considered late. Congratulations on being a new homeowner!

I'd call your mortgage lender, but normally you would be late and it would go on your record.
