Hello
I'm new here, people were really helpful with advice when I was deciding whether or not to do a Phd and I just handed the paperwork in yesterday so thank you.
The deal my husband and I made together was that if I take up another 3 years of blissful marriage with a Phd then we would finally buy a house, I can have an office to keep it separate and he can live in the country, where we'd be happy.
All rinky-dink so far, I have the deposit, actually saved money whilst at university, however, I rang some mortgage companies today and its not good. They won't consider my bursary as an income so can only quote on my husbands, which isn't a lot.
I am told there are companies out there, respectable ones without baseball bats who will take the bursary into account and I was wondering if anyone here had been in a similar position and might know who we can turn to? I am desperately avoiding the brokers who were crooks when we last bought a place.
Cheers muchly
