Why Student Property & Huddersfield

  • Student numbers in the UK have soared in recent times, reaching record-high levels according to CBRE. This increase in student numbers from both national and international students is driving extremely strong demand for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA).

  • Amid a somewhat turbulent economic period for the UK, the student property investment market has continued to offer a steady and stable option for investors looking to protect their wealth, and the market looks set to continue to grow in the coming years.

  • Savills reported that the number of first-year undergraduate students is projected to increase in the coming years and could even reach 1 million by 2030.

  • The number of international students is set to continue its upward trend, with a 117,500 increase in the number of full-time international students between 2019/20 and 2021/22.

  • With this forecast increase in student numbers, paired with a chronic under-supply of student housing, strong rental growth is expected in the student market of around 7% for 2023/24.
