Bath Building Society News.

2012 - Bath Building Society have launched a buy for university mortgage. The mortgage is available to students in Higher Education throughout England and Wales. An application can be made in the sole name of the student, or jointly between the student and their parents. In the case of a sole application, Bath will require a parental guarantee. They will lend up to 100% of the value of the property, subject to a maximum £250,000. The actual amount you can borrow will depend on the income that will be received from letting rooms within the property. Where this is insufficient to support the mortgage, they will consider parental income after deductions for financial commitments.
