Investing in student accommodation in London is one of the most attractive opportunities in the property sector. The city is home to some of the most prestigious universities in the world. Demand for student accommodation in London is steady and growing. In this guide, we look at costs, returns and the best areas to consider.
Why invest in student accommodation in London
Demand for student accommodation is structural and predictable. Every year, thousands of students arrive in London from all over the world. Supply is not able to meet all of the demand. This keeps rental prices high and stable.
In addition, students tend to pay rent on time. They are often supported by their parents or by scholarships. This reduces the risk of arrears compared with other types of tenants.
Best areas for student accommodation in London
The best areas depend on proximity to universities. Bloomsbury and King’s Cross are close to UCL and King’s College. Stratford is convenient for Queen Mary University. South Kensington attracts students from Imperial College.
