"I've got a student loan - I'll never get a mortgage." We hear this one a lot. And happily, it's a myth 🙌
The average first-time buyer is now nearly 34, and student debt is part of why people assume the door's closed. But here's the truth: a student loan doesn't appear on your credit file, and it won't stop you being approved 🎓
What it does do is affect affordability, because your repayments come out of your monthly income, lenders factor them in when working out what you can borrow. That's a very different thing from being blocked.
The good news is that different lenders treat this differently, and knowing which ones are more generous is exactly our job. We'll help you borrow as much as you comfortably can 🏡
