Why invest in student property in Lancaster?

Lancaster is home to two universities and 18,000 students. Lancaster University is one of the best in the UK and consistently ranks among the top ten across all league tables. Whilst the number of students sounds more modest compared to that of Liverpool or Manchester, there simply is not enough beds to accommodate them all. It is estimated that there are approximately 10 returning students from outside the region to every purpose-built student accommodation bed according to Cushman and Wakefield. The Mill will be able to accommodate some of that need, and considering it is the closest modern purpose-built student accommodation development to Lancaster University’s campus, it should get strong demand and deliver good rental yields. With the number of students in Lancaster increasing by a rate of 16% per annum since 2008/09, we envisage sustained rental demand.
