Why now is the perfect time to invest in student property

UK investment property market is as lucrative as ever and is widely considered the safest form of investment in comparison to stocks and shares for example.

We can all agree that as the UK property market grows and is considered a safer investment option as it has been established for over 100 years!, there still seems to be a slight stigma when it comes to student property investment. Why? mainly because it is a relatively new type of market and people do not always feel comfortable Investing in something that is considered ''New''.

What I want to do is provide you with some simple facts and my opinion on why student property is the best investment option for cash buyers.

• Best performing Asset Class - The UK student property market has out performed all other property types over the past 5 years in both capital appreciation and rental yields
• Hassle Free - The vast majority of student developments offer a hassle free investment where there is normally a management company in place who takes care of the upkeep, maintenance and most importantly finding you a tenant. Now as long as the developer is reputable and so is the management company I believe this is one of the key factors that make student property the way to go.
• High Demand - There is an extremely high demand for student property when you choose the right location, For example the occupation rates for student property in Liverpool which is an extremely student rich city is 98%. The reason for this is there is a huge under supply for student property in the city with over 65,000 students in the city there are only 48% of student who have access to purpose built student accommodation which means there will always be a demand for this type of property.

The points above are just some of the many reasons why you should choose student property for your investment.
