Mortgage Application & Student Finance

kateolivia

So, I’ll try to make this as un-complicated as I can! So earlier in the year I was offered a place at university but to start next year so my boyfriend and I decided to start the search for a house in the meantime whilst I was still employed full time. So we found our perfect first home and sent our mortgage application off on Monday (17th August). In the meantime, my chosen university have been in touch to say there is now a place available for this year! Brilliant, however I’m now aware of how little time I have to hand my notice in at work and apply for student finance... so I suppose my question here is if I apply for student finance now (before having our mortgage application approved) will it affect our mortgage application? I don’t want to jeopardise that but I’m also eager to start uni a year earlier.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
