Investing in the STUDENT MARKET The student accommodation sector was ranked by The Times as the top asset class in the UK s property market in 2012.

Demand for university places in the UK remains strong, resulting in a continued oversubscription each year.

Students are increasingly demanding high quality and secure purpose built accommodation with great facilities close to their place of study.

5 Investing in the STUDENT MARKET The student accommodation sector was ranked by The Times as the top asset class in the UK s property market in The student property market continues to provide stable and lucrative returns and investor appetite shows no sign of waning, with over 2 billion invested in student accommodation in the UK in Demand for university places in the UK remains strong, resulting in a continued oversubscription each year. Overall, universities receive 14 applications for every 10 places available: an 8% increase over the last five years. Students are increasingly demanding high quality and secure purpose built accommodation with great facilities close to their place of study. And they are willing to pay more than ever for these benefits. A shortage of this kind of accommodation ensures rental values remain high across the board. Data from the National Union of Students shows that rents for purpose-built student accommodation continue to rise above the level of inflation, increasing by 53% since International students are the driving force behind the demand for purpose built accommodation and, with no cap on the number of students who can study in the UK, Knight Frank has forecast that the number of international students in higher education will increase by 15%-20% over the next five years. This will certainly further boost demand for luxury student accommodation and propel this investment sector from strength to strength. Student property returns will continue to outstrip traditional asset classes into 2014 The Knight Frank Student Property Report

Grading cities according to their student provision potential, Sheffield was awarded a 2:1 for its strong research base and its attractiveness to the international student market.

6 Grading cities according to their student provision potential, Sheffield was awarded a 2:1 for its strong research base and its attractiveness to the international student market. Why Invest in SHEFFIELD With a total student population of more than 60,000, Sheffield recently topped a list of university towns and cities that could benefit from more purpose built student accommodation. The universities in Sheffield are only able to provide university owned accommodation to a relatively small proportion of students. With just 11,369 bedrooms available to more than 46,890 full time students, a massive 76% are left looking for accommodation in the private sector or living at home. This demonstrates a clear opportunity for the provision of purpose-built student accommodation within the city, particularly for Sheffield s expanding international student population, who are driving the demand for luxury student rentals. University of Sheffield The University of Sheffield is amongst the top 1% of universities worldwide, renowned for its innovative research, five Nobel prize winners, and awarded University of the Year 2011 by The Times. 25,545 students 22,420 full time 17.8% international Sheffield Hallam Sheffield Hallam is a centre of excellence for health care training.
