DEVON HOUSELIVERPOOL

KNOWLEDGE QUARTERSTUDENT APARTMENTS

Devon House is the latest student development from YPG. Located in the heart of Liverpool’s student district, this development will benefit from the £1 billion which has been invested into Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter.

Devon House will consist of 162 fully managed studio apartments to cater for the rapidly increasing student market in Liverpool.

All apartments are furnished to the highest standard and include a tablet computer for each student.

This clever technology allows tenants to book communal areas, control heating, request maintenance 24/7, communicate with others in the building, receive information from on-site management and order outside services like food orders and laundry.

Devon House will also have advanced light sensor and heating systems, reducing energy costs by more than 20%. Communal areas will include study spaces, a breakout room, cinema system, pool tables, on-site gym and a cooking/dining area that seats up to 10 people.

As a result, Devon House will offer students the best of Liverpool living at an affordable price – while giving investors 8% net rental income.

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

Private student accommodation continues to outperform all other forms of property investment in the UK. With low entry prices, stable yields and low void periods, it’s one of the most lucrative ways to expand your portfolio. Plus, there is zero stamp duty payable on all student properties.

Demand for high-quality student accommodation is increasing exponentially. On A-Level Results Day 2016, Ucas announced that a record number of students were accepted to universities and colleges.

The influx of overseas students is also contributing to rising demand. There’s no cap on the number of overseas students, and the Government forecasts the number will rise by 15-20% over the next 5 years.

Although most first-year students secure university-owned accommodation, others need to look elsewhere. This results in more than 70% of students in university towns renting privately – and they’re demanding convenient locations, quality furnishings and on-site amenities. This offers you a compelling investment opportunity.

WHY STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

Liverpool is at the centre of the UK’s second largest regional economy with access to six million customers, an economy worth more than £121 billion and 252,000 businesses.

Liverpool has been experiencing phenomenal growth over the last few years and is set to grow even further over the next 10 to 20 years.

The city has secured a significant number of regeneration projects including the £350 million L2 Superport, £150 million Project Jennifer, £260 million Anfield Stadium Regeneration, £1 billion Liverpool ONE Sho ping Centre and the £5.6 billion Liverpool Waters.

In addition to this, the population of young professionals and students is growing as the city attracts people from all over the world. In 2012 there where 57 million visitors to Liverpool, supporting over 50,000 jobs. Liverpool is now seen as a great place to stay and is ranked 5th for overseas visitors.

Proportionally, the city has the highest number of overseas students. The city also has one of the best environments for students in the UK, ensuring it will remain a popular student location for the foreseable future, despite any external economic situations.

ABOUT LIVERPOOL

Liverpool has announced plans for a £1 billion development in the city’s Knowledge Quarter.

The Knowledge Quarter is the area Liverpool City Council is developing as an academic hub. It’s already home to the University of Liverpool, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool Hope University and Liverpool John Moores University.

This enormous project is called Paddington Village, and it will cover 30 acres behind Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

The development plans are ambitious, to say the least. There will be an array of new houses, businesses, conference space, laboratories and academic buildings. And there’s also talk of a skyscraper and a trainstation.

Knowledge Quarter CEO Colin Sinclair told the Liverpool Echo that thousands of new jobs could be created via Paddington Village.

‘This is a landmark, a historic moment in the future of Liverpool…When that kind of investment is being made, you can really say to any investor from around the globe that Liverpool is a city of opportunity.

It’s a step change. We’re not dabbling around the edges here. We’re trying to create something that is lasting for the city.’

Phase 1 of Paddington Village is likely to begin in 2017.
