Considering the current economically & pollical situation in the country, I think that Student Accommodation is a great investment opportunity. Once Bexit goes ahead, we expect the Sterling to see a slight dip in value which means that it would be cheaper for foreign student to study in England.
Also, Brexit is all Doom and Gloom and the country goes into a recession or has a mini financial crisis, more people are inclined to go to university and study for longer to ride the storm than enter the workplace.
With a weakening sterling, we will also see an increase of international investors looking to invest in the UK. With Buy to Let being clamped down by the government and additional stamp duties being charged to international investors, people are looking for alternative options.
Property Investment through crowdfunding is providing a solution for both local and international investors. Now anyone can invest in student accommodation and they don't need huge amounts of cash.
