The Times - Student loan or first home?
Student loan debt can make a real difference to mortgage affordability and it can be the difference between getting your own place and staying in the rental sector.
Aaron Strutt, of the mortgage broker Trinity Financial, told The Times: “For higher earners, who are paying back £200, £300 or £400 a month, that is a big financial commitment and it can easily reduce the amount you can borrow by tens of thousands.”
