 Pick The UK Student Sector For A Sustainable Investment

• More students are being accepted into UK universities and there has
also been an increase in the number of overseas students.

• International student numbers have doubled in the last 10 years and

it has even been predicted by a property consultancy study that there
will be a further 20% growth in the next 5 years.

On the world stage, the student sector is predicted to reach
a value of £143 billion in the next 10 years.

• Purpose-built student accommodation has been the UK’s highest
yielding property asset for a number of years.

• Traditional buy-to-lets are no longer the most lucrative property

investment.

• The average yields for traditional buy-to-lets are 4 - 6% and this is

being further diluted by new government regulations such as Stamp
Duty rises.

 Purpose-Built Accommodation Is
What Students Are Looking For

• Increasing numbers – In 2016 there were

record student numbers of around (UCAS).

• High demand – Increased numbers means

UK demand has risen and many areas,
especially in the North, are experiencing a
significant under-supply of student housing.

 Purpose-Built Accommodation Is What Students Are
Looking For

• Lack of housing – High student numbers and the residential housing

shortages limits student access to the private rented sector; PBSA
supplies a solution.

• UK’s world-renowned HE system – The UK Higher Education system is

known all around the globe and has the world’s second-best
university system according to 2016 HESS rankings.

• This massive shortage means that the 707,000 students currently
occupying housing in the private rented sector are living in homes
that are desperately needed by local families.

• This further supports the new development of purpose built

accommodation to give students a place to live, whilst not adding
to the housing shortage.

• Students are crying out for more luxurious units, with indoor
facilities such as communal areas, study rooms, gyms, and even
cinema rooms.

• A fully-managed student property investment eliminates all the

extra work and hassle of investing, converting and managing a
traditional buy-to-let.
