    I admire your tenacity so unlike the naysayers, I say go for it! Although you will probably need to go down the parent route.

    Thank you - good to see someone that doesn't think I'm insane for wanting to get on in life and that doesn't assume that because I'm a student I'm not responsible enough to keep up with mortgage repayments.

    I dread to think what sort of a hole you are buying for £48,750 though ;)

    Well I currently rent a similar hole a few doors along :rotfl:

    I don't think any of the comments on this thread are assuming anything about you - they're just being realistic about banks' lending criteria, which you fail to meet.

    Agree with the rest, I very much doubt you will get a mortgage given what you have said.
    Thinking critically since 1996....
