Local property entrepreneur goes back to his roots to deliver top quality student accommodation
· Sheffield lad, Robert Gavin of Property Horizons, launches new student accommodation
· Luxury development in the heart of Sheffield where students are the happiest in Britain
· 30,000 extra students predicted to attend UK universities in 2013/14 say UCAS
Sheffield has long been a leading university city, hosting over 57,000 domestic and overseas students. Not only that but the National Student Survey 2012 and the Student Barometer Survey have together confirmed that the University of Sheffield is officially home to the UK’s happiest students!
A leading research university, the University of Sheffield is 13th in the UK according to the 2012-13 Times Higher Education World University Rankings. It won acclaim as the Times Higher Education University of the Year in 2011 and its Students’ Union was voted best in Britain in the National Student Survey 2012. Its latest accolade is having been ranked at the top of the Student Barometer Survey for student satisfaction in 2012 – for the second year running.
Born and bred Sheffield entrepreneur Robert Gavin, Founding Partner and Director of unique worldwide property investment company Property Horizons, welcomed the news,
“As my hometown, Sheffield has always been close to my heart. The University of Sheffield is already one of the UK’s highest ranking universities and it’s wonderful to see it given the recognition it deserves. With so many students, both domestic and international, clamouring to attend such acclaimed universities in the UK (an overall rise of 30,000 students is predicted for the 2013/14 academic year according to UCAS) this is inevitably putting pressure on existing housing stocks in cities including Sheffield.
“Given the observation in the recent Knight Frank survey that the student property sector is currently the UK’s highest yielding investment opportunity, I am really excited that Property Horizons is able to offer a wonderful new opportunity in Sheffield, allowing me to give something back to both my investors and hometown.”
Property Horizons is leading the field in tackling Sheffield’s student accommodation demands and raising the bar for quality with its stunning new development just minutes from the city’s universities and colleges.
The purpose-built accommodation, available for investment exclusively through Property Horizons, places an emphasis on high quality design and construction. With carefully planned interiors, the accommodation will feature solid wooden floors, a large gym and beautiful communal areas, as well as bedrooms and bathrooms that maximise use of space through cutting edge design.
Property Horizons’ unique approach sees the company investing its own funds into all of its investment opportunities and this Sheffield development showcases the perfect hands-off, hassle-free property investment. The opportunity features a 10% NET rental guarantee for two years, 125% developer buyback at the end of year four and a projected 66.5% return on investment in just four years. With investment from just £54,950 and only a limited number of units available, savvy investors will need to move fast to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity to give something back to the UK’s next generation of leading graduates.
Property Horizons will be at the Property Investor Show at ExCeL London on 19 and 20 April 2013, where Robert Gavin will be speaking at the seminars.
