Your circumstances may change, making you ineligible for mortgages / they may get more expensive. Taking out a small one to give you liquidity (6x monthly income or whatever) that you can overpay when things free up is a good idea IMO. There will always be things in the new house that need unforeseen cash.
I imagine you could take a small mortgage out at any time, should you need it?
