      Student Property Investment: What Are the Benefits?

      Student Property Investment Comes With Plenty of Demand

      The UK is filled with lots of huge and renowned universities in cities across the country.

      This has led to a constant demand for student accommodation, especially within key student cities like Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds.

      According to the HESA Student Record, around 2.3 million students were recorded within the UK in 2017 and 2018, many of which were from overseas countries.

      2020 saw a record-breaking rise in university applications, with the number of people applying for higher education now expected to jump by up to 30% each year to 1mn people by 2030.

      By investing in a high-quality student apartment that is well-located and equipped with attractive features like high-speed WiFi and on-site security, you can benefit from an even higher stream of tenant demand year after year.

      Student Property Investment Comes With High Yields

      High yields are always top of the list for those seeking a reliable and successful property venture.

      Because student properties tend to be priced so low but come with such high demand, these types of investments are known to generate some fantastic rental yields.

      With the more luxurious type of student properties that have been in high demand over recent years, rental costs become more expensive, which leads to even more impressive yields.

      All of our current student property investment opportunities come complete with net rental yields of 8%.

      Yields like these are a lot higher than you’d receive with a lot of top-performing residential properties, ensuring a steady rental income for many years to come.

      In the guide, you will learn all about student property and where to buy property in the UK. From Manchester to London, we take an in-depth look at the UK student market so you can be fully prepared to make a property investment.

      Student Properties Are Typically Affordable to Buy

      Unlike residential properties, which may more typically be a one or two bedroom apartment, student accommodation is more often in the form of a studio apartment.

      This makes student properties a great option for investors looking for a more affordable opportunity.

      If you buy a student property in a more affordable location such as Liverpool, you have an even better chance of securing a lower-priced investment.

      Examples include the Liverpool City Point development, which comes priced at just £59,995, making this investment the perfect way to launch your buy-to-let career and build a profitable investment portfolio.

        I have had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional customer service from RWinvest. Adam and Michelle were remarkable and were exceedingly supportive in facilitating the acquisition of two properties in Liverpool, at "The Gateway." Their guidance was instrumental in the purchase of the properties and I express my utmost satisfaction with their assistance, and I am inclined to not only endorse but also consider any property advertised by RWinvest.
