Why Student Accommodation?
- High Occupancy Rates: Universities attract thousands of students each year, ensuring steady demand and near‑full occupancy throughout the academic calendar.
- Attractive Yields: PBSA typically delivers higher yields than traditional residential lets, often ranging from 7% to 9% due to all‑inclusive rents and professional management.
- Fully Managed Assets: Specialist management companies handle maintenance, marketing and tenant services, giving investors a hands‑free experience.
- Stable Tenancies: Student leases are usually booked for the entire academic year, providing reliable income streams and reduced void periods.
- Growing Sector: With purpose‑built residences increasingly replacing outdated halls, the PBSA sector offers modern amenities such as gyms, communal lounges and study areas that students expect.
By investing in PBSA, you gain exposure to an undersupplied segment of the market with strong fundamentals. Whether you’re new to property investing or looking to diversify, student accommodation can deliver competitive returns and long‑term stability.
