Mortgages at University

How do Mortgages at University work?

This type of mortgage allows a student to buy when still at university. Affordability is calculated on rental income which must be at least 7% of the loan and traditionally generated from no more than four rooms in the house.


Mortgages at University – Advantages

The mortgage is available up to 100% LTV . The mortgage allows you to start gaining from equity rises before you have even started working.

You will not waste any most in rent at university.


Mortgages at University - Disadvantages

Both parents must act as guarantors for the entire loan. They may also have to secure the loan on a proportion of their own home (if you take more than 75% LTV ).

You will have the additional stress of finding tenants and living in the house as landlord.
