Student accommodation an attractive investment
Thu, Nov 25, 2021
Originally purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) was built as tax incentives for purchasers in the early 2000s. The allowances lasted for 10 years and have long since lapsed. We have seen a large volume of these individual properties sold over the last number of years, bringing a different demographic of landlord to the market. With constant changes to landlord and tenant legislation these properties are attractive to landlords who want a hands off investment with a competitive return. These sites are well managed and offer students a secure and comfortable home away from home to live in throughout the college year. All sites have a manned office for the management company and security at night.
Sales prices for these properties continue to rise from a low base in 2012 and still provide attractive returns with net yields (after all costs involved, eg, service charge and letting fees) in Galway city ranging from five to seven per cent depending on the location of the site. There has been an unprecedented demand for student housing for the current student year due to the lack of purpose built student accommodation and to the large number of traditional one off student houses exiting the private rental market. This trend looks like continuing in the short to medium term as supply of purpose built student accommodation will not meet the demand.
