Investment Potential

“Student Housing delivers income during uncertain economic times”

As student accommodation is commercial by class this has also seen an increase in values, this sectors robustness is highly attractive to a growing number of investors who want high capital growth that can be depended on for the long term.

Even in the midst of a global downturn occupation levels for good quality purpose built private accommodation is close to 100% with rental levels for 2010 predicted to increase by at least 5%.
• The student population for the 170 higher education institutions in the UK is now estimated to be 2.2 million
• There is however currently an insufficient supply of suitable accommodation with only 23% of the current demand being met by university maintained properties
• The demands and needs of the modern day student are not met by the accommodation currently provided by the universities as it tends to be dated
• Understandably university funding is currently directed to research and teaching
• Property acquisition or refurbishment is not a priority for these institutions
• The private sector is therefore needed to step in to provide this supply

Returns
"Average capital appreciation of bricks and mortar over the past 20 years has been 8.8 per cent per year - this figure takes into account the worst housing crash in living memory between 1991 and 1994."

Malcolm Harrison, spokesman for the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA)
Taking into account these historical capital growth figures and net rental income derived over the course of 10 years, £33,995.00 invested today would be worth £115,196.00. A financial breakdown of this simulation is available on request.
