In search for new ways of increasing profits from the property investments of its clients, Prime UK Property thoroughly studied and tested the possibilities for investing into student accommodation in the UK. This has become one of the most popular ways to invest among international private investors.
The popularity of the city’s two leading higher-education institutions—The University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University— have led to Nottingham’s growing student numbers. Both these universities have reported ever-growing student populations over the past 5 years, which has only served to widen the current deficit between supply and demand in Nottingham’s already oversubscribed student accommodation market.

Price from 59,995The rapid growth and high profitability of student accommodation in the recent years is due to the students’ demand for high-quality accommodation significantly exceeding the availability, as well as the constant growth in the rental prices of student accommodation.
According to Knight Frank, in the cities of London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Nottingham among others there is currently a shortage of student accommodation. As a result, the rental prices continue to grow regardless on the economic situation in the country and the rest of the world.
Another important factor contributing to the growing popularity of student accommodation is the large number on international students.
The UK is currently second in the world behind the USA in the rating of world’s top 100 universities. Due to this many international students come to study in the UK – today the proportion of international students in British universities often reaches 30%, and may increase by as much as 15-20% in the coming years.
Property investors now also have the opportunity to purchase rooms or studios in student accommodation buildings during the construction stage. This option, whereby the investor purchases a room or studio, which is managed by a professional property management company, is ideal for the international investor, as there is no need to spend time managing the property, finding tenants and acquiring the necessary permits. In other words, you buy a complete and safe business in the UK with a guaranteed revenue.
The main advantages of investing into student accommodation in the UK are:
The prices for student rooms start from as low as £49,000, while the prices for apartments start from £200,000. When investing into student accommodation during the construction stage, the initial deposit is only 30-50% of the total price.
Revenues from letting student accommodation reach 7-9% per year, while on average the yearly revenue from all residential property lets in the UK is 4.5%.
A professional property management company takes care of managing the accommodation, which often guarantees profits during the first 2-5 years after the property first comes into use. As a result the investor practically enters a profitable business, but spends no time or capital managing the business, only receiving the revenues from the investment.
The key advantage of investing into student accommodation, apart from high revenues and the low price of entry into the business, is the lack of the need for the investor to manage the property themselves.
In addition to this, we will do everything in our power to minimise the risks of delayed completion of construction or poor quality of property management – we work only with reputable developers and the UK’s leading property management companies.
