London is the most sort after and prime student investments leased to a University will command a premium price. Student buildings on a nomination agreement from a University, usually sells for a higher yield and lower price.

These investments tend to range from £5m - £100m and depending on if a lease or nomination agreement or direct private tenancies to Students, will usually command a purchase price that equates to a 5%-9% yield. Obviously the stronger the agreement the lower the yield and the higher the price.

Student buildings in other major University cities like Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Loughborough, Stratford, Lancaster, Glasgow and Edinburgh etc. will be sold for prices equating to a yield ranging from 5.5% - 9.5%, again depending on the strength of the University covenant, being lease, nomination or private student let. Private lets command the highest yield and lowest prices.

As well as selling these types of investment properties, we always have clients waiting to buy something similar.

So to summarise, if you are a buyer we will usually have something for you.

If you are a seller, we can usually always source your requirements.

Fees

In most cases where we are retained by the seller, we will not require fees from you.

If you are asking us to sort a specific property and type of investment, with a specific yield in mind, we will require a sourcing fee. In most cases this equates from between 1%-3% of the purchase price. Depending on property value, the lower fee will apply on higher priced buildings.
