4 MARKET OVERVIEW The investment market for sui-generis HMO, hostel and serviced apartment blocks has rapidly evolved over the past two years. Such buildings have potential to optimize rent per square foot, enabling an enhanced yield above mainstream residential. According to the 2011 Census, 25.1% of households in London are in the private rented sector and in Earl s Court the proportion is significantly higher at 41.6% of all households. Demand for rental properties in the area comes from tenants in both the prime and mainstream markets. The prime rental market benefits from strong employment and the increasing number of international companies in London. Savills figures show that across prime London, 47% of tenants are renting due to employment relocation and 60% of tenants are from overseas.
