Investment Summary

Page 3

A Recession Proof Investment

There is a widespread dierence of opinion regarding what will

happen in the residenal and commercial property market rightnow in the UK. But one thing that few experts disagree on is the

potenal for both capital growth and surety of high rentals that

comes with well located student accommodaon in key cies

with presgious universies. Furthermore as always happens in

me of nancial downturns and higher unemployment, student

numbers always increase, providing you with a recession-proof

investment.

A Stable And High Yielding Investment

Over the past 6 years, rents in this sector have increased at 5%

per year, in contrast to 0.6% for the commercial market as a

whole and the occupancy rates for student accommodaon cur-

rently sit between 97% - 100%. Also compared to residenal

tenants who only sign up for on 6 month contracts students

are oen required to rent for a full year.

This provides incredible stability that is very hard to achieve in the global economic climate and

which has made this opportunity so popular with both UK and overseas investors.

A Passive Income And Turnkey Investment

Most property investment is rarely as passive or hands o as we would like. However, by work-

ing with a very experienced and established management company that specialises in the stu-

dent accommodaon market, this investment provides you with that true armchair invest-

ment where you can sit back, relax and see your regular monthly income hit your bank account.

Please contact our experienced team on the details below if you have any quesons regard-

ing this excellent investment opportunity, as we only have a very limited number of units

available.

Knight Franks View On Student Accommodaon In London

With 291,000 full-me students enrolled across 40 Higher Educaon Instuons (HEI), London

clearly remains a hub of student acvity and connues to occupy the top posion for student

investment. It boasts a large proporon of both postgraduates and internaonal students, yet

only 15.4% of its students are housed in university -owned accommodaon. Knight Frank con-

siders that London needs a further 100,000 student bedrooms providing transport-accessible,

value accommodaon in the 150-200 per week price range.

Central Locaon To a Variety of Presgious Further Educaon Instuons

Most students value the locaon of their accommodaon as much as the quality of it. This de-

velopment at 157 Bexley Road, SE9 2PR, is located in a prime spot just across the road from the

Avery Hill campus and close to two further educaon centres. This provides a large amount of

student numbers for this small bouque student development and ensures long term rentals

year on year and consistent rental income for investors.

A guide for approximate locaons and distances from the student accommodaon is as fol-lows:

University of Greenwich, Avery Hill - 100 metres

Falconwood Railway Staon - 600 metres

Rose Bruford College 750 - metres

Bird College 1 km

Oering Excellent hands-free Regular Passive IncomeAs you can see below, these student studios oer an excellent return on your investment and

well above average rental yields. Furthermore, the management company in place will provide

their experse at a highly compeve rate of just 8% for full management. Tradional student

accommodaon would normally aract fees of around 12 -15% for this level of service. This re-

duces your costs signicantly and sll means you will achieve a net rental yield of at least 9% in a

prime London locaon.

FAQs

Q1. How achievable is the rental yield?

A1. The rental yield is very achievable. Similar student accommodaon based in Greenwich oers a lower

standard of accommodaon and smaller rooms, which rent for 180 to 220 per week and are consistent-

ly 100% fully booked. Also this is without extra facilies such as a gym! Given the new build quality, theat screen TVs in the rooms and just 1 minute walking distance of the nearest university, these spacious

and luxury student rooms will be the rst choice of any student studying in Greenwich. In addion the de-

velopment is also close to two presgious performing arts and drama colleges as well, both of which do

not have any accommodaon available for their students and have expressed a strong interest in these

units already for rental purposes.

Q2. What are the benets of 51 week tenancies?

A2. 51 week tenancies are rarely oered by universies in their halls of accommodaon for the simple

reason that they can rent these out on very high nightly / weekly rentals during the summer when they

host conferences and convenons. In many cases rents can be as high as 100-

150 per night. This caus-

es a problem for students, in parcularly internaonal students who want to stay during the summer. By

oering 51 week tenancies, not only does this development oer something unique, but also maximises

the rental income for investors.

Q3. What is the length of lease on the these student studios?

A3. The lease would be for 250 years which is considered to be very long.

Q4. Are there any sourcing / nders fees payable?

A4. No.

Q5. How experienced are the management company?

A5. The management company will be experienced in this sector and are well established in the area. This

level of experse enables the management company to consistently achieve occupancy rates close to

100% year aer year.

Q6. What do you mean by the rst year rental is assured?

A6.This means that the developer will assure the payment of the rental for the rst year starng in Octo-

ber 2012 which gives you absolute peace of mind. In the very unlikely event that the developer slightly

overruns and misses the deadline, you would sll have your rental income for that year. Very few devel-

opers have the experience and condence to oer such an assurance.

Q7. How long do I have to make my decision to reserve?

A7. As with all of our excellent property investment deals this project will be sold on a strictly rst come,

rst served basis. Given the quality of this deal, the tremendous yields oered and the exceponal value

for money we feel that this property deal will be very popular indeed so we would advise investors to re-

serve as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

FAQs (2)

Q8. Can I purchase using a mortgage or does it have to be cash?

A8. Unfortunately due to the current very stringent and restricted lending condions most lenders mini-

mum loan amounts, at the moment mortgages are not available for this type of accommodaon and

therefore you will need to purchase with cash. However, it may be possible, me scales perming, to

raise nance either as a loan or re-mortgage secured on your exisng property which will then allow you

to be in a cash posion to invest. The generally low interest rates available on a secured loan / mortgage

would be easily covered by the extremely high rental yield oered here. The rental income should cover

the cost of the loan and sll provide excellent passive income.

Q9. How do I reserve one of the student studios?

A9. Please contact our experienced team on the details below and we would be delighted to discuss with

you the current availability. You would then need to sign and return the reservaon form along with the

reservaon fee.
