Claim your stake in the £200 billion student property market

Years ago, student housing was a mix of halls of residence and run-down houses of multiple occupancy (HMO). Student living was derided as a questionable rite of passage and the subject of more than one grotty sitcom.

Yet, you’d have to be slunked at the bottom of a bed in an aforementioned HMO like a Young One for the past few years to have missed the rise of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA).

Replacing HMOs with PBSAs has been a major movement, resulting in student accommodation becoming the top-performing property investment in the UK. Highlighted by the likes of Knight Frank, Savills and CBRE, over £6 billion has been spent on UK student property in the past three years and globally the industry is now worth £200 billion.

How much of the £200 billion has your company dealt with?

Institutional-level product

If you haven’t sold much PBSA, you’re not alone. The bulk of the deals are too big to go on sale to a wider market. Institutional investors are assessing the criteria, seeing a market that has huge demand and limited supply and buying big – often spending tens of millions.

Elsewhere, master sales agents are given sole responsibility to offer other PBSA developments to individual investors looking to expand their own personal portfolio.

Most brokers have missed out. However, Select Property Group is now bringing its award-winning student properties to the wider sales market.

What’s more, these properties are direct from the developer. Select Property Group’s Vita Student brand is at the forefront of the PBSA revolution, having fully tenanted its six existing residences using a unique end-to-end solution. You’ll be able to confidently sell property knowing it is designed, built and managed by the same industry experts who have sold over 1,600 units to investors so far.

The full list of benefits of selling on behalf of Select Property Group include:

  • Direct from the developer
  • Average commissions of £7,000 per property that’s paid within 7 days of contract exchange
  • Proven delivery of over 1,500 properties and thousands more in the pipeline
  • Full sales support and training
  • Full access to comprehensive assets and a live availability portal

Make sure you and your clients don’t miss out any longer

Despite the meteoric rise of student property, you haven’t missed out on the opportunity, as all UK cities remain structurally undersupplied and demand for university places is set to rise further, following this September’s abolition of the UK’s arbitrary student cap.

This creation of a demand-driven higher education sector will not only push enrolment numbers higher, it will place a greater emphasis on high-quality accommodation making the Vita Student brand, and its experience-led ethos, even more popular among students and property buyers.

So, make sure you don’t miss out on £2 billion worth of annual property purchases.
