10 student homes that will appeal to savvy buyers
As A-level results day looms and the countdown to the start of the new academic year begins, it's worth taking a serious look at student housing. With constant demand and few voids, renting to students can be very lucrative – flatshare website SpareRoom has found that average monthly rents for rooms in the UK's top 45 university towns and cities range from £500 in Bangor to £980 in London. Whether you're after a property for a child to live in while studying or purchasing purely for investment, start with this selection. 1. The Bank, Leeds, from £190,000 A Grade II-listed former bank in the city centre has been transformed into 17 one- and two-bedroom apartments and duplexes with contemporary kitchens and open plan living areas. They're a short walk from the University of Leeds campus and available to move into immediately. Find out more from LH1 Global. 2. Cardiff, £215,000 This mid-terrace house is close to Cardiff University and its medical school at the University Hospital of Wales. It comprises a living room, dining room and kitchen, two double bedrooms and a first floor bathroom, and is being sold with tenants in situ. Get in touch with Moginie James.

West End, Dundee, offers over £235,000 Part of a small development built in 2016, this first floor flat is only five minutes' walk from the University of Dundee.

Fallowfield, Manchester M14, offers over £290,000 You'll find this four-bedroom HMO (a house of multiple occupation that can be shared by between three and six unrelated people) in a neighbourhood boasting one of Europe's largest student communities. There's a modern kitchen, a bright living/dining room and a newly-refitted shower room, plus extras such as a burglar alarm, USB charging sockets and a bike rack in the secure back yard. It's rented out at £1,664 per calendar month until the end of June 2026, making it a great hands-off investment. From Bridgfords. 5. Bath, £365,000 Any Bath University student would be proud to live in this end-of-terrace garden flat, as it's roomy, full of character and in a very convenient location. It incorporates an all-in-one kitchen, living and dining room with a breakfast bar, a double bedroom, a dressing room that could be used as a second bedroom for guests, a bathroom and a courtyard garden.

Bournemouth, Dorset, from £500,000 If you're buying for a student offspring, one of these new-build townhouses is perfect, as they're a quick bus ride from Bournemouth University and about a mile from the sandy beach.

Loughborough, Leicestershire, £1.2m Loughborough University is a few minutes' walk from this modern block, consisting of nine self-contained studio, one- and two-bedroom flats. Following a full refurbishment three years ago when new kitchens and bathrooms were fitted, they're in good condition and fully tenanted, generating an annual rental income of £83,647.20. Based on the guide price, this equates to a very healthy 6.97% net yield. Contact Leaders. 9. Marconi House, Strand, London WC2, £1.8m Somewhat superior to standard student digs, this duplex flat occupies the first and second floors of a building that once housed the BBC's first radio studio.
