Sheffield Property Investment: Student Property

The most profitable area for property investment in Sheffield is in purpose-built student accommodation.

The presence of Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield means that demand for student rental property is extremely high. Sheffield has a higher student capacity than housing available, making it ideal for the purchase of investment properties.

Students prefer moving to ready-built apartments in the city to ease learning and reduce the stress of commuting. The market is far from providing the expected supply of accommodation, and Sheffield continues to experience unrivalled demand for purpose-built student accommodation.
