Studio Description
‘Boutique’ student accommodation is a phrase coined to represent accommodation for the discerning student who does not want to compromise on standards of living while at university. The end user varies, but each represents a bias towards the affluent, international, post-graduate or mature student. With the move towards post-pay university education and £9,000 fees, in the short/medium term there has been a significant rise in demand for ‘boutique’ student accommodation. Historically, student accommodation has been provided by privately owned three/four bedroom houses or by student halls, neither of which maintain the standard of living many new/returning students are accustomed to. We have identified a niche in the student accommodation market to provide a higher level of specification and amenities. We aim to create a unique student experience with our high-end study bedrooms with facilities to match the expectations of today’s discerning student.
An existing halls of residence in the heart of Sunderland, Dunn House has been identified as a prime location for private investment, due to the shortage of student accommodation in the area, in relation to the high number of students enrolled at the university. Currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment to elevate it to the high standard now considered a benchmark for boutique student accommodation, the residence is comprised of 109 single and double studio units and is assured to generate investors 10% NET rental returns for years 1 and 2. Furnished to the highest of standards and equipped with free WiFi, students also have access to a range of communal facilities including lounge areas, a fully equipped gymnasium, kitchens and laundry facilities. One of the most lucrative private student accommodation investments currently on the market, Dunn House is ideally located in the heart of Sunderland, within walking distance of both campuses and all local facilities and amenities including, transport, restaurants, shops and clubs.
