Simple, it's as easy as purchasing any other property in the UK.  Find a property that suits your requirements, make an offer and then with the use of solicitors on both your side (the purchaser) and the sellers side (the vendor), the transaction will be executed.

Yes, buying a student room is like purchasing an apartment. You hold a leasehold title.

Currently mortgages aren't available for student pods or rooms.It is generally a cash purchase or using funds lent on another asset i.e. the re-mortgage of another property.

No, studentpodshop.com specialises in the resale of completed and income generating student rooms.These rooms are generally privately owned by investors or groups of investors for the purpose of income generation. The majority of the developments are managed by specialist operators and have affiliations with the local universities.

Student rooms or pods are generally in purpose-built or converted buildings, which house specialist facilities such as study areas, gyms, communal lounges, games rooms, media rooms, kitchens and more. The bills are all included in the student's rent; they include utilities such as laundry rooms and shared WiFi etc, therefore being more attractive to the student as they are an all-inclusive package.

In addition, as an owner of a block managed facility, you don't need to worry about the upkeep of the building, including the roof, the windows, the garden and other maintenance items!

You might do! Here at studentpodshop.com we sell these too.  However, buying a resale allows you as an investor to generate an immediate return.  The developments have a 'track record' and have been marketed heavily to students, meaning they will have high occupancy levels.

Many investors look at cities that they recognise as being large university centres. This is generally a good point to start with, but many of the smaller institutions have invested heavily in recent years in their infrastructure and expansion on campus.These areas have been crying out for quality accommodation, thus meaning higher rents and lower voids.
