The rental assurance offered by developers provides investors a level of security rarely seen in the residential market. They will commit to investors receiving the fixed figure irrespective of the performance of the asset, so even if the unit is unoccupied you will still receive the fixed rental income.
There will be a dedicated management company appointed who are experts in the local market, often student property specialists. They will have a network of tenants and relationships with universities to ensure optimum performance, so your property will be in safe hands with them taking care of the entire process of lettings and management.
Not much will change, you will still have someone looking after your property, although you are free to choose another management company. Your rent will be collected on your behalf and then it will work like a normal buy-to-let property with costs to consider. In most cases, due to the premium rent charged and low pricing, the net returns are very attractive.
During the purchase stage you will have to consider legal fees but typically there is no administration, furniture pack or other charges due. Once the property is complete, you will earn your net fixed income without having to consider other costs for the duration of the rental assurance period.
This type of investment property is a cash only purchase, most high street lenders do not provide finance for such purchases with the units often being below 30m2.
On some student schemes there are payment plans provided throughout the construction period. In most cases a minimum of a 30% deposit will be due at the exchange of contracts stage.
Selling your student property is very simple, we can assist with recommended companies to market your property for sale, or you can use a traditional high street agent. The market is more niche compared to traditional residential property as you will be focusing on investor buyers but there tends to be significant demand for properties that perform well in terms of the net income and that have a track record of high occupancy rates and rents being achieved.
directors insight
What does Nick, our Founder and Director, think of The Printworks?
“For successful student property investment, an investor should consider a number of factors, but one of the most important is the long-term demand in the region.
One way to ensure there is stable and consistent demand is to invest near a high-quality university which will attract students for many years to come.
UCLan is an exceptionally well renowned university globally, ranked in the top 6% worldwide. Considering this, plus the fact that the University is actively investing into its own onsite facilities, builds a strong case for attract students in the future, i.e. potential tenants.
Finally, the on-campus location of The Printworks means investors can benefit from this likely long-term supply of students wanting quality and convenient accommodation“.
