Why Invest in Purpose Built Student Accommodation ?

​

In 2010 the UK housing shortage figure reached 1 million homes. Since then stock availability has fallen by 0.9%. A lack of supply is sustaining high rental values reflecting a long-term trend within the UK for high returns and sustainable growth in the buy-to-let market. 



The student rental market reflects this situation, with a lack of new builds and rising demand for University places adding significant value to any development in the market. 



Rental income from student properties has increased every year for the last 6 years by between 3% and 5%. The returns  seen from student investments are further supported by extremely high occupancy rates of over 99%.



Student property is fast becoming one of the UK's most popular investment opportunities. With UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Services) reporting a 22% rise in applications for 2011 - 2012 and with a huge national shortage of student accommodation;

​

this is the perfect time to take advantage of current investment conditions.
