Frequently Asked Questions

Which area of Exeter is best for student property investment?

There is no fixed best area. Compare the individual property, purchase costs, licensing and compliance position, current recorded rents and exact campus routes, and take independent financial and legal advice.

Is Heavitree good for student property?

Suitability depends on the individual property, current price, condition, licensing position and its exact routes. Compare current evidence rather than assuming an area-wide level of demand or value.

What type of property should I buy for students in Exeter?

That depends on the property, budget, licensing and compliance requirements and the needs it can lawfully serve. Current listing counts do not guarantee future demand, rent or occupancy.
