The concept is simple An opportunity to invest into our latest UK Student Accommodation Exclusive and benefit from proven and sustainable returns from this profitable sector. Investors purchase one or more modern self-contained studio apartments with kitchenette which are leased back to a well-established management company on a rolling agreement so that the building, in its entirety, can be let as student accommodation. The managed turnkey nature of the investment allows investors a hands-off approach whilst taking advantage of increasing rate of returns and capital appreciation.

As the asset receives a higher income, it becomes more valuable and saleable every year, providing owners with the security that when they wish to exit the investment, the asset is just as attractive as when they bought it.

4 Student accommodation No.1 choice for property investment in the UK Experience Invest first introduced student accommodation to investors seeking an alternative to the UK s more traditional property markets several years ago and during this time the sector has seen phenomenal growth. Our foresight combined with the rapid emergence of the sector has rewarded investors with strong returns. Once considered an alternative to the UK s more traditional property markets, the Knight Frank 2014 Student Property Index shows that total returns from student accommodation outperformed all other property asset classes in the year to September. This has been the case since The CBRE Student Housing Index has also shown total returns of 9.95% between September 2012 and September 2013, outperforming the IPD All Property Index for the 3rd year running.

In 1996/97 there were 1.8 million students and the dramatic expansion in student numbers has left most universities with an acute undersupply of accommodation. Existing housing provided by universities is often outdated and the availability of purpose-built, modern accommodation is a crucial part of their marketing plans to attract the growing student intake. With supply restricted and strong demand underpinning rental growth, now is the perfect time for investors to take advantage of current market conditions. *Patterns and Trends in UK Higher Education 2013 (Universities UK in collaboration for HESA).
