Find a local independent financial advisor and they will advise you of your options. Google or ask an agent local to you.
Most will require a fee. You wouldn't do a job for free.0 -
If you want advice you are best speaking to a mortgage advisor.
Some broker charge, others do not. Others it will depend on the amount of commission/your circumstances.
If you do find a fee charging broker best to pay on offer or completion (rather than upfront).I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

use your bank initially to get an idea then decide if u wish to look elsewhere
free advice and will answer all ur basic questions0 -
the advisor should be free for the first meeting, they will say if not
and your student load doesn't get factored in, though your £3000 debt may.
I would suggest clearing this before going through the process. You are quite likely to get knocked back otherwise, as regulations have just got a lot tougher0
