Dave McKnight of Martin & Co Derby comments about the
growing potential of student accommodation with average
rents tipped to rise by 2.75 per cent in the regions in the
next academic year.
“Student property is one of the most successful real estate
asset classes, thanks to stability of demand for student
bedrooms from all over the UK. The introduction of higher fees hasn’t reduced demand and the market is still structurally undersupplied in all core university cities such as Derby. There is a significant volume of new equity preparing to enter the market which is an indicator of the opportunity.
In Derby a key opportunity is for the provision of property
suitable for Rolls Royce post graduates, this leading local
employer has large numbers of highly qualified, professionals moving into the area who require one bedroom accommodation, or shared accommodation in locations around their numerous sites in the town”.
