The information for London area Universities has been condensed as no area returns a decent yield! I’ve included them for completeness reasons only. The sheer size of the London student market requires a chapter in it’s own right. There are no defined student quarters for each individual university in London[1], so if you can find cheap property[1] within the student vicinity, presenting good potential yields, good access to the transport, then it maybe worth a look. I use the term “cheap property” very loosely here!

Scores for main student areas in London[1]

{Note: This time, I have decided not to have a go at the “Financial Scores” Section of London. This is purely based on the fact that I really am not too clued up about the ins and outs of the London area. I am confident that having already written a book on London Property, in addition to the fact that you live near London, you’ll be able to do a much better job.}

[1] University of London campuses may have locations in multiple places across Greater London. When possible, the main campus is used as the principal location.

[1] London has many flats on offer, but this has generally been excluded form this criteria as we require a property which can accommodate three of four bedrooms.

[1] London Guildhall University and The University of North London have merged to form London Metropolitan University

[1] There is no necessary link between a university campus and the area it is situated in. For example, In Camden, not every student from the Royal Veterinary College may live in Camden, nor should the findings discourage the notion that a student from Kings College London may choose to live in Camden.

[1] Houses specifically chosen, as the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom houses are most desired by students i.e. 3 bedroom house = {3 bed + converted lounge = 4 bed total} and so on.
