Student accommodation No.1 choice for property investment in the UK accommodation to investors seeking an alternative to the UK’s more traditional property markets several years ago and during this time the sector has seen phenomenal growth.
Total student housing transactions £5.7 billion £2.369 billion

Our foresight combined with the rapid emergence of the sector has rewarded investors with strong returns. Once considered an alternative to the UK’s more traditional property markets, the Knight Frank 2014 Student Property Index shows that total returns from student accommodation outperformed all other property asset classes in the year to September. This has been the case since 2011.

A record number of over 500,000 places were allocated for the 2014-2015 student intake (UCAS)
Market fundamentals – supply and demand There were around 2.5 million students registered to study at the UK’s 163 higher education institutions in 2011–12*. In 1996/97 there were 1.8 million students and the dramatic expansion in student numbers has left most universities with an acute undersupply of accommodation. Existing housing provided by universities is often outdated and the availability of purpose-built, modern accommodation is a crucial part of their marketing plans to attract the growing student intake. With supply restricted and strong demand underpinning rental growth, now is the perfect time for investors to take advantage of current market conditions. *Patterns and Trends in UK Higher Education 2013 (Universities UK in collaboration for HESA).
