The student accommodation sector continues to grow and mature with increasing student numbers putting University resources under pressure. A key government policy ambition is for increased participation and educational attainment. The government's target participation in HE is 50% of 18-30 year olds. This represents an increase of approximately 7% from current levels.

Traditionally students have resided in University owned Halls of Residence or in private rented accommodation. The market has now evolved with the additional provision of bespoke private sector accommodation and through partnership based models, between Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and the private sector.
