THE era of the skint, slovenly student is long gone. These days, students are sharp, savvy consumers. They expect the most from the tuition they are paying for, and, similarly, they demand a high standard of accommodation for the money they (or their parents) are shelling out each month.
Students are far less likely to tolerate run down properties and landlords who are slow to attend to any troublesome issues.
And the market is responding accordingly.
Universities are putting investment in student halls, raising the standards of accommodation provision.
Private equity firms are investing in purpose-built student accommodation with excellent facilities, including free wifi and onsite gyms.
As tuition fees rise, Universities are focusing on attracting wealthy international students, with many such students opting to live in private residential apartments.
All of which means that the market for student rental is more promising than ever.
However, it’s not good news for everyone. If you own a student property, and you want to achieve your full rental potential, your let needs to be up there with the best of them.
