Student accommodation
We have an impressive track record in this sector. Our expertise covers property, construction, planning, banking, tax and environmental.
We’re very established in this sector and act for operators, investors and funders as well as contractors and other professionals.
We have a deep understanding of the unique commercial drivers. These include the importance of higher education within Scotland, its attractiveness to foreign students, ease of movement into the country, proposed rent/lease controls, the demand for managed beds within the Scottish market and the maturity of the market.
Our current portfolio mainly covers Glasgow and Edinburgh student accommodation although we have been involved in deals relevant to all universities in Scotland including Aberdeen, St Andrews and Stirling. It includes investment acquisitions, forward funding, site purchases and more traditional lending. Our team of eight handles deals of all sizes and complexity.
