Supply and demand
Newcastle has one of the biggest demand-to-supply ratios in the UK, with four out of five students looking for purpose-built accommodation.
In Newcastle there are two prominent universities. The Russell Group Newcastle University and the region’s largest university Northumbria University attract over 50,000 students between them due to their internationally renowned reputations.
Among these, 40,000 students do not have access to purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA).
With a shortfall on this scale, the potential for investment is very apparent. Savills has very recently elevated Newcastle into its first tier of student property investment opportunities in the UK. It was one of a few select cities to show any upward movement in this definitive ranking of 50 cities. This means that Savills believes student accommodation in Newcastle is one of the best investments the UK can currently offer.
High premiums forhigh-spec property
In less than ten years, international student numbers in Newcastle have increased by 30% and the city now welcomes 9,000 overseas students every year.
The house of multiple occupancy (HMO) stock that is plugging Newcastle’s supply gap is just not appealing to the evolving needs of an increasingly international student base. In fact, Knight Frank identified the city to have the second highest PBSA premium in the whole of the UK, with students more than ready to pay up to 75% more for PBSA than HMOs.
Rising rents
In the last 12 months, Newcastle hasseen a 6% rental increase across studio stock and the largest apartments now command an average rate of £185 per week.
This shows new investments need to be high end and appealing to a student market that is willing to pay.
However, even the existing properties that are exhibiting this significant rental growth fail to completely align with the demanding needs of the student base and this is resulting in an identifiable gap in the market.
For further explanation into the opportune investment potential Newcastle student accommodation offers, see the Newcastle Research Document.

Vita Student at Westgate, Newcastle | Select Property Group Vita Student at Westgate, Newcastle | Select Property Group
This is the location of the vast majority of student accommodation. Student housing in this area is some of the oldest in the city and not appealing to modern international students. Security is a prime student concern and tenants in this area are required to navigate busy roads and dark underpasses to walk into university.
This area houses some of the newer PBSA in Newcastle. The quality of accommodation is higher than older HMO stock and as a result, it easily commands higher rental premiums. Student accommodation here is highly sought after due to the scale of demand in Newcastle.
This is the prime location, providing the growing international student market with the exact accommodation opportunity it wants. Vita Student assessed the existing accommodation locales and aimed to bridge the gap between a desire for city centre living and campus proximity. In scouting, designing, furnishing and managing its own residencies, Vita Student fulfils the needs of the local market and simultaneously breaks the city’s ceiling in terms of quality and community, acting as a highly visible rallying point for the new generation of student in Newcastle.
The flagship location of this investment - within sight of the train station and a short walk along the UK’s most attractive streets to university and the city centre - has the potential to dominate the student accommodation landscape in the city, revolutionising what the market expects and unmistakably supplying the demand for high-quality PBSA.
This in-depth assessment of the existing student accommodation landscape graphically demonstrates the prime location and the standing in the existing market that the Vita Student product commands. It will have an undeniable pull on a student population that has been in need of this level of development and investors can rest assured their property will always be in demand.

ROI 78.6%
Capital appreciation
In each of the three tables the capital appreciation prediction before completion is based on the returns seen by existing Vita Student investors. Over the course of the previous developments, investors that have resold their property with Select Property Group have achieved between 8% and 15% capital appreciation between the time of purchase and the time they resold at completion.
The capital appreciation after completion is based on Savills’ latest prediction. The group suggested student property can expect a capital appreciation rise of 6.3% in its Spotlight UK Student Housing report 2013. None of these ROI tables exceed this prediction.
4.5% rental income on completion
During the period initially between completion and tenancy at the start of the academic year, investors will receive immediate returns of an annualised, above bank rate, 4.5%. Vita Student Management is incentivised to achieve over performance on rental yields. As the development will complete six months prior to the academic year starting, they will work hard to maximise on the development’s potential by taking advantage of summer lets. This has secured a annualised 4.5% return for the period between completion and September 2016.

Unique to the £200 billion student accommodation sector, aligning the student experience to investor returns has been instrumental in securing the sale of 1,350 Vita Student residences and delivering a 100% occupancy rate to date.
In September 2014, five new Vita Student residences will be opening their doors, with a further 1,260 properties in Sheffield, Newcastle and York opening in 2015/2016.
A global reputation
With investors in over 100 countries Select Property Group has already established a strong reputation across multiple continents. The Group is supported by offices in Manchester, London and Dubai and has more recently opened offices in Singapore and Canada to handle the growing number of enquiries being fielded from Asia and North America.
The executive team
Select Property Group benefits froma confident, committed and powerful management team that has immense experience across commerce, retail, hospitality and development.
Select Property Group
Select Property Group is the UK’s largest retailer of investment property. With more than 9,000 properties sold in over 100 countries, the Group has a well-earned reputation of delivering successful investments in both emerging markets and also through the identification of niche opportunities in more established markets.
With over ten years’ experience, the Group’s success is built on a clear vision to develop market–leading brands that are instantly recognisable and cannot be replicated. Underpinning each brand is an unswerving commitment to the end customer, delivering products which are relevant, authentic, and different.
By adopting this approach the Group guarantees occupancy levels in its properties, thereby driving the yield and value of its investments.
A revolutionary approach
Unlike a typical property investment company, which sources products to sell but does not get involved in the development or management of the product, Select Property Group controls every component of the investment.
From the initial identification of the opportunity, all facets of the Group work to provide the customer with the property they desire. The perfect location is sourced. A building is designed and furnished to accommodate every aspect of the customer’s lifestyle, and a management company is recruited in-house to safeguard long-term care and high levels of service.
This total control of the process not only ensures Select Property Group goes to market with brands that are industry leading but, crucially, they are able to maintain this market advantage since brands can be evolved with relative ease to encompass changing customer requirements and market dynamics.
