After an historic week for the country, Bull and Bear meet up to discuss the ongoing challenges students are facing and they debate the state of the Purpose Built Student Accommodation (SBSA) investment market.
Thousands of students who are meant to be starting courses imminently are being left stranded without accommodation.
According to UCAS, nearly 426,000 students held university offers on 18 August 2022, the second highest on record.
The private student accommodation rental market has shrunk significantly in recent times, not helped by the increasing legislation for Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
Sentiment in the sector has been buoyed by its resilience throughout the COVID pandemic and the current strong investor interest in the sector is expected to be maintained.
