Allsop Propchat

In this episode of Allsop's PropChat, Residential Managing Partner Richard Adamson hosts a discussion with Allsop's Anthony Hart and Will Ramshaw - experts in the Student Housing sector - alongside Richard Ward, Head of Research at StuRents, the UK's largest student listings platform.

 

The conversation covers the journey the student housing sector has been on over the past decade: how it has matured, attracted a wider investor base and now faces a more complex set of challenges. Topics include the growing two-tier market between prime and secondary assets, the affordability crisis squeezing student budgets, the impact of international student demand (and China's shifting demographics), supply constraints that are reshaping the development pipeline and what the Renters Rights Act could mean for HMO landlords and investors alike.

 

Allsop’s inhouse offering in the sector is a comprehensive one, from sales and acquisitions to valuation work.  This episode offers a grounded, data-led view of where the market stands - and where the opportunities lie.

2025 was a year that ended with one of the biggest residential auctions of all time, raising £77M and a long awaited cut to interest rates – this is typically the catalyst that the commercial market needs to drive demand. As we review last year we also make our informed predictions of what 2026 holds.
Both Auctioneers discuss the different forces driving the buyers and sellers, with a significant increase in Housing Associations and REITS selling last year, which is likely to continue and some new overseas buyers buying in to commercial assets for the first time. Is that a turning point in the market? There is a lot to cover.
“So much is moving in the wider Residential market”, says Seb Verity who reflects on his normal wide range of topics from the impact of rising obsolescence in all its forms, to what is holding back the Government’s new build targets.
The entire panel conclude the episode with their thoughts on how they would invest £5m in their markets and why.
