In short: Student accommodation can be bought as shared houses (HMOs) near universities, as individual rooms or "pods" in purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), or through listed REITs. HMOs offer control and good yields but need licensing and management. PBSA rooms are sold with high advertised yields, but can be hard to resell and to mortgage, so treat guaranteed returns cautiously. Under the 2026 rules, a special possession ground lets landlords of student HMOs regain possession for the next academic year if they gave notice at the start. Research demand at the specific university.
