The majority of Cardiff’s students don’t currently live near the city centre. Low supply also means that they are forced to live further away from Cardiff University than they’d like to. Vita Student Cardiff bridges this gap between work and play: next to Cardiff university, within 5 minutes’ walk of the city’s main landmarks and shopping streets, in the very heart of the CF10 city centre postcode. Vita Student Cardiff is the location the city’s students are demanding – a location chosen to increase your rental returns.

40,000 students study in Cardiff, with international student numbers at Cardiff University growing at a faster rate than the UK average. There’s been a 137% increase in demand for PBSA in Cardiff, but currently there are 2.5 students for every 1 PBSA property available; 25,354 students can’t find the property they want. This is driving returns for investors in the city. Rent growth in Cardiff in 2017/18 (8.5%) was the fastest of any UK city, while average yields (5.59%) are among the highest nationally. This is where you can achieve some of the highest returns from student property in the UK right now.

British universities are among the most highly regarded globally and, when student numbers increase, so does the demand for high quality accommodation. There’s been a 70% increase in international students in the UK in the last decade and a 68% rise in demand for purpose-built student accommodation in just six years. With performance not determined by wider economic factors, UK student property is one of the strongest investments you can make.
