PROVEN RETURNS • Delivers a long-term, robust income stream
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
Income Generating Asset The student buy-to-let market is now well established with demand increasingly outstripping supply Consistent occupancy rates of 99% deliver robust long-term, low-risk income streams Bad debts are virtually non-existent as students pay rent in advance A total of 163 higher educational institutions in the UK (HESA) With no cap on the number of students who can study in the UK, Knight Frank forecasts that the number of 3% increase in student numbers (UCAS)
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 consistently since 2011.
Key asset class 2016
The UK attracts 13% of the global market share (HESA)
2 0 1 4 2015 By the end of Dec 2015, Jones Lang Lasalle has noted that student investment should reach 5.7 billion for the year, more than doubling what was registered in the previous year. A similar report from Bilfinger GVA also indicated that 4.3 billion had already been invested up to the end of Quarter 3 2015.
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 Existing housing provided by universities is often outdated and the availability of purpose-built, modern accommodation is a crucial part of their marketing plans to attract the growing student intake.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).
