Hi all,
Me and my partner are looking into buying our first home together, we both currently live with our own parents and want to be together. We have both started saving and have been looking at our options with help to buy scheme etc.
However I have one worry, I am currently at university and will be for the next 3 years. My partner is working full time and earns £24,000, whilst my income is £3600.
Would we be able to get a joint mortgage whilst I'm still at university?
I'm grateful for any advice.

Yes, but the amount you can borrow will be lower as a consequence.I am a mortgage broker.
