Why Invest in Student Accommodation?

More people are attending university, creating a solid and sustainable demand. Due to the current economic climate and high unemployment levels, student numbers are set to continue to rise in coming years. Figures show that student numbers are set to increase to 3 million by 2014. The number of overseas students choosing to study in the UK has dramatically increased over the last decade and account for more than a sixth of the UK student population. This is expected to double by 2025 as students are more willing to travel abroad for the best education opportunities. Purpose built student property is the ultimate hassle-free, high income, reliable investment private halls are managed by on-site management teams Student property has continued to be one of the most resilient investment sectors in the UK during the economic downturn, with most rental incomes and property values remaining stable or increasing. Existing accommodation provided by universities is often outdated.
