Investment Case: Why Student Property?
These trends are set to continue. Overall, the Higher Education Policy Institute estimates that there will be an additional 358,000 students in the UK by 2035 on top of the current total of over 2.8 million – and all of them will need beds to stay in. The supply problem is made worse by falling construction rates in the sector and a pipeline that is set to deliver fewer new beds by the end of 2027 than in the last four-year cycle. Confused.com reports that here was a 66.7% decline in the number of new beds delivered between 2019 and 2023.
Overall, data from CBRE shows the shortfall in the number of student beds could be as high as 580,000 a year at the moment – and there is no end in sight with Knight Frank reporting that there were just over 25,000 new beds in construction across the UK in 2023. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the same agency reports that 98% of all student beds for the 2023/24 year were booked before the end of Spring 2023. The same is expected by the end of Spring 2024 for the next academic year, and CBRE is confident that this will see annual rent rises of at least 5% on average. Cushman & Wakefield reports that the average annual rent for students now is more than £7,600.
