In detail
THE OPPORTUNITY:
*Now with full Kitchenette Upgrade* We have persuaded the developer to include a full kitchenette upgrade with all units! This should make these pods even more desirable to students and potentially increase rentals!
If you are an active property investor the chances are you have looked at some element of student property in the past.
Student Property Investment has grown from something seen as high risk to a much more refined investment. With the introduction of high value fully managed student rooms student property investment is now seen as a market leading investment with many funds choosing to concentrate on it completely.
In a market where many investors have seen rental voids, capital values and Ltv rates decrease, why are many of the UK’s most renowned investors focusing on Student Accommodation?
If you look at the simple economics, student accommodation really does sell itself.
In short, you can purchase a property that will rent at a much higher value to students than an equivalent unit would to a private individual. You also do not have the downfall of rental voids! In fact, many opportunities include guaranteed rental returns!
Our latest opportunity is a block of just 45 student pods located in historic Greenwich, London. With prices at just £82,700 each, this represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase in a market that is seeing phenomenal growth.

KNIGHT FRANK’S OPINION
“With 291,000 full-time students enrolled across 40 Higher Education Institutions (HEI), London clearly remains a hub of student activity and continues to occupy the top position for student investment. It boasts a large proportion of both postgraduates and international students, yet only 15.4% of its students are housed in university-owned accommodation. Knight Frank considers that London needs a further 100,000 student bedrooms providing transport-accessible, value accommodation in the £150-£200 per week price range”.
