Answer 1

If you have the money you can buy a property whether you are resident in the UK or not.
Owning a property does not give you the right to residence.

Answer 2

If you're an EU national, you can own property anywhere in the EU. The problem might be that you are a student, and unless you can prove that you have sufficient income (salary), you will most likely not qualify for a mortgage. If you come from outside of the EU, I don't know what the story is.

Answer 3

Isn't your student visa going to expire after three years? As someone else noted, most students would have a hard time raising the money for a house. After your visa expires I'm not sure they'd give you a new visa other than a six-month tourist visa just based on your having bought a house.

Answer 4

shouldn't u have visa to stay in uk? so i suggest u go to the office where u get your visa for staying in uk and aks there. i know in my country in some fancy places u can't buy property unless u re a citizen, but mostly u can if this is an average place and average house. i live in european union, uk is a member of european union, maybe laws re the same

Answer 5

Simple answer is anyone can buy property in the uk, you don't even have to be a resident. The government will be more than happy to take the stamp duty from you.

Answer 6

If you have the money, go and ask the estate agents, I am sure they will sell you a house.
I know many people who are not UK citizens who have property in the UK
