Student Accommodation Investments
Yields for student accommodation investments are usually higher than the average residential property.
Traditionally the major and popular student cities are offered. However, investors should not be persuaded by just location and higher than average assured yields, remember, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is! We always suggest investors should carry out their own research.
You should include;
- Student rooms that are in demand (always check occupancy rates)
- Location – check the distance from the University to the accommodation and travel time
- Walking distances and transportation
- Size of rooms, where they feel comfortable with good Wi-Fi connectivity, en suite facilities and space to study
Remember, students average study is 3 to 5 years. Accommodating the student throughout their study has a healthy impact on your investment with regards to both rental income and the equally important future re-sale.
The Overseas Investor aims to introduce their investor clients to properties that fit with their requirements, whether its less risk re-sale and completed developments offering immediate rental returns or, off-plan where you have to pay a small percentage of the purchase price upfront, giving the investor time to save and put together the balance on completion.
