 Student Numbers and Accommodation Figures

Student rents are 20% higher in private halls than traditional

HMOs

Data suggests that purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA)

investments are resilient to the wider economic conditions

The figures show people do not going to stop going to university

during a recession and students will always need accommodation

 Net yields are higher than regular buy-to-lets as students are
prepared to pay more for high-spec accommodation in good
locations

PBSA investments are 'hands free' -

once you have paid in full everything
is managed for you

 Furthermore rent is assured by developers thanks to high demand
and shorter void periods - tenancy rates can be as high as 99%!

For peace of mind be sure to research the developer if you are

buying off-plan - you want to invest with a developer that has a
track record in similar developments

 For investors wondering about an exit strategy; PBSA units do not
take long to sell

In fact are rarely seen on the market due to the high-level of rental
income investors enjoy

A PBSA investment should be looked at as a long-term investment

in which you will make your return on the residual income rather
than capital appreciation
