Our Advantage
Over the last decade, the population of students in the United Kingdom has grown consistently. The investments in purpose-built student accommodation overtook other assets types as the highest-yielding property asset in the United Kingdom. The growth of this sector was so rapid that it emerged as the largest property student market in the world in 2015. Therefore, it is not surprising that discerning investors channel their venture capital to purpose-built student accommodation in the United Kingdom.
Why invest in the UK?
Investments in this sector have consistently exceeded the £3 billion benchmark over the last six years. In 2016, funds from international investors account for 64% of the total investments in purpose-built student accommodation in the United Kingdom. Why are these investors channelling their capital to the United Kingdom and not to their own countries? The answer is simple; the purpose-built student accommodation industry in the United Kingdom grew naturally without external influence. As a result of natural growth, it became resilient such that political developments such as Brexit which caused a decline in other investment sectors did not affect the industry. On the contrary, purpose-built student accommodation industry is waxing stronger year after year.
Universities and Higher Academic Institutions in the United Kingdom rank among the best in the world. According to Higher Education System Strength (HESS) rating in 2016, the second best university in the world and 51 of the top 200 universities in Europe are in the United Kingdom. Therefore, it is not surprising that students who seek quality education across the globe are choosing institutions in the United Kingdom as the choice place of study.
Why Invest at this Time?
Timing is critical to investment and the purpose-built student accommodation is not different. The previous legislation which limits the number of student intake in universities was revised in 2014 and wholly abrogated in 2015. Henceforth, universities have the freedom to offer admission to as many students as they consider appropriate. The development has led to a consistent increase in student population year after year and places an extra burden on the demand for purpose-built student accommodation which is in short supply already.
Consequently, there is an acute shortage of purpose-built student accommodation at this time. Stakeholders in real estate industry across the globe are rallying efforts to take advantage of the spike in demand for university accommodation which will result in equitable investment returns on the short-term and long-term basis.
