    I would be interested to know this myself!

    I'm not sure it would affect you because for most people in full time education their overdraft is carried on until 2 years after graduation, and a friend of mine has just got herself a mortgage.

    All I can suggest is to try calling a free mortgage advisor - I got a few different business cards for some when I was viewing new build developments last year.
