The National Union of Students (NUS) said that debt levels for graduates have increased massively in recent years.
According to the organisation, graduates will leave university with a combined debt of £3.2 billion, signalling an increase of 167 per cent.
\"Debt hits students when they are at their most vulnerable: when they\'re thinking about their first step on the career ladder, when they\'re thinking about getting a mortgage, starting a family... so essentially, at the time when they\'re most financially vulnerable, they\'re being hit with quite hefty payback,\" said an NUS spokesperson.
It is bad news for anyone looking to sell a property, which they may have inherited through a family bereavement or received in a divorce settlement, as it means fewer buyers are entering the market.
