We have a successful track record in supporting developers with both senior and stretch senior facilities to deliver their projects.

We consider each potential development project on its own merits but below gives an indication of some key considerations when appraising a new student scheme.

  • Borrower experience in the purpose-built student accommodation sector
  • Location of asset e.g. proximity to university / amenities
  • Demand for purpose-built student accommodation in the locality
  • Potential for supply and demand rebalancing in the near term
  • Operator experience
  • Viability of exit plan e.g. refinance or sale
