Why Invest in Liverpool? Liverpool is one of the UK s most popular student cities with students accounting for 12% of the overall population Liverpool is one of the UK s most popular student destinations. The city boasts three universities and several very popular colleges, including the world renowned Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts (LIPA). More than 50,000 students currently reside in Liverpool and account for 12% of the total population. Traditionally students have occupied outdated residential private houses and resided in outdated poorly facilitated halls of residence. Over the past five years there has been a shift towards high quality city centre accommodation. University owned accommodation for the three main universities accounts for nearly 25% of the total full time students. The demand currently outstrips the supply with 75% of students currently renting privately. The rise in rental prices for student accommodation has been driven by both a desire for better quality and a growing number of overseas students. This has led to rent rises above the rate of inflation year on year for the past ten years. There is no cap on the number of overseas students that can study in the UK and it is estimated that the number of international students will increase by 15-20% over the next 5 years. 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 a 06-07 07-08 09-10 10-11 11-12 Source: NUS Student Accommodation Cost Survery 2012/2013 a Since 2006 there has been a 53% rise in student accommodation rental.
