The student property investment sector has been the top performing investment for many years.
This is due to ever-increasing student numbers and a serious under-supply of suitable housing in cities with major student populations.
The latest figures show that the UK remains a highly attractive option for foreign students both from within the EU and with non-EU overseas students.

UK, EU and Overseas Students Numbers

The number of non-EU students applying to UK universities has increased by 2.8 per cent to 76,380, the highest on record.
This is matched by an increase in acceptances which rose by 5 per cent.

Both universities and the government are keen to keep the number of EU students coming to the UK as high as possible.
In an attempt to mitigate any Brexit concerns EU students starting courses in the 2018/19 academic year will still be eligible for government tuition fee loans.

A spokesman for UCAS said:
“The number of applicants from the EU in 2017 is the second highest on record.”

What Does This Mean For The Student Accommodation Investment Sector?

These are the second highest numbers ever recorded, which certainly does not indicate a catastrophic reaction to Brexit.
Therefore we predict that student accommodation investment will continue to be a sought-after and profitable investment class.
