The Student Housing Market: Opportunity, Affordability and the Road Ahead

About this episode

In this episode of Allsop's PropChat, Residential Managing Partner Richard Adamson hosts a discussion with Allsop's Anthony Hart and Will Ramshaw - experts in the Student Housing sector - alongside Richard Ward, Head of Research at StuRents, the UK's largest student listings platform.   The conversation covers the journey the student housing sector has been on over the past decade: how it has matured, attracted a wider investor base and now faces a more complex set of challenges. Topics include the growing two-tier market between prime and secondary assets, the affordability crisis squeezing student budgets, the impact of international student demand (and China's shifting demographics), supply constraints that are reshaping the development pipeline and what the Renters Rights Act could mean for HMO landlords and investors alike.   Allsop’s inhouse offering in the sector is a comprehensive one, from sales and acquisitions to valuation work.  This episode offers a grounded, data-led view of where the market stands - and where the opportunities lie.   Follow Allsop and our speakers Anthony Hart, Will Ramshaw, Richard Ward and Richard Adamson on LinkedIn.   Anthony Hart
