About this home

The Swansea portfolio comprises six high-specification student houses located within the highly sought-after Brynmill and Uplands districts of Swansea, both of which are recognised as some of the most popular student locations in the city due to their proximity to Swansea University, Singleton Park and the city centre. The properties have been refurbished and maintained by the current owners to provide modern, well-presented accommodation, with rents quoted exclusive of utilities, which are paid by the students.

The Swansea portfolio comprises seven individual properties providing accommodation for a total of 45 students. The portfolio generates an annual rental income of £231,424 for 2025/26 based on 50-week contracts reflecting a gross yield of 11.29%.

The vendors have consistently focused on providing high-quality student accommodation in the most sought-after locations within each city of operation, avoiding areas that are less desirable to students and therefore more vulnerable to fluctuations in demand. Strong emphasis is placed on proactive maintenance and continual investment to ensure the accommodation remains attractive to both new and returning tenants.

As a result of this approach, the portfolio has achieved 100% occupancy at the start of every academic year since operations commenced in 1998.

The portfolio benefits from an established operational platform, strong tenant retention and a long-standing reputation within the Swansea student market, providing investors with a proven income-producing asset in one of Wales' most resilient higher education locations.<

In addition to these six Swansea houses, the vendors also own a further two schemes in Preston and two in Plymouth, all of which are available to acquire, individually or preferably as part of a single portfolio transaction, offering immediate scale across multiple established university markets.

Swansea University has over 21,000 students as well as there being around 9,000 students at the Swansea campus of the University of Wales, Trinity St David, to give a total number of students in Swansea of 30,000 approximately.

The quality of management is reflected in the current owners having a 4.5 star Google ranking.
