Why Invest in Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) ?
​
Student accommodation has proved to be an extremely lucrative investment. Data from the National Union of Students show that rent for purpose built accommodation has continued to rise above the rate of inflation. Since 2006,the cost to the student has increased by amassive 53%, rising from £81.18 to £123.93 in2012; 

 

No wonder the student sector has been ranked by The Times as ‘the top asset class in the UK’s property market’. Investor appetite for student accommodation continues to grow, with total investment in the UK reaching over 2 billion for a second consecutive year in 2013.

 

Rental values remain high across the board and students are willing to pay more for quality accommodation. Source: NUS Student Accommodation Cost Survey 2012/2013 with The Times recently ranking the UK 2nd in the world’s top 100 Universities (after theUSA), the demand for University places in the UK is still extremely strong. There is a continued oversubscription of applications for university places, with 14 applications for every 10 places; an 8% increase over the last five years.

 

The UK also remains an increasingly popular location for overseas students to study with China, Hong Kong, India and Nigeria accounting for more than 30% of all international students in the UK. Overseas students make a huge contribution to the UK; boosting the economy and enhancing cultural life. With no cap on the number of students who can study in the UK, Knight Frank has forecasted that the number of international students in Higher Education will increaseby 15%-20% over the next five years.

 

With international students the drivingforce behind the demand for purpose built student accommodation, this sector is sure to go from strength to strength. This will certainly boost demand for luxury student accommodation.
