With nearly 55,000 students currently living in the green city of Sheffield, it’s no wonder that Sheffield letting agents, Belvoir! Sheffield are encouraging more landlords to buy student properties.
The Sheffield student property market has big potential right now, with thousands of students looking for appropriate properties to stay in, particularly for their second and third years. Belvoir! Sheffield are looking to tap into this market by working with more and more landlords in offering student appropriate housing.
Rick Flay, the Managing Director of Belvoir! Sheffield said: “There are so many students in Sheffield right now looking for properties to rent, but many are unsuccessful because there aren’t enough quality properties out there. If you are a landlord looking to buy a property to rent out, we urge you to consider buying to let out to students because there really is a need for it at the moment.
“If you are looking to buy a property in Sheffield, we recommend you talk to us first as you could get a five to seven per cent plus yield on student suitable properties. The key area of unbiased advice that we can help you with is on where to buy and on the price you pay. Talking to us can save you thousands.”
“Where landlords already have property to let, we recommend they start looking for tenants as soon as possible, as students are already looking and making decisions, which is where we can help. We have a shortage of properties and strong demand.
“Our specially designed “Student Properties” page on our website currently only features 26 student properties in Sheffield all within walking distance of the city centre and the two universities. We will need another 50 to meet current demand before July. All our properties are well presented, within easy reach of the tram service provided by the city and are available from this summer. Rents start as low as £55 per week to suit the student budget.”
The experts at Belvoir! Sheffield provide a comprehensive range of services to help new landlords on their way, including having an experienced agent visit the property to finalise rental values, as well as draw up tenancy contracts and collect monies from tenants. We are with you every step of the way to ensure your tenancy is as smooth as possible.
Rick added: “With exams and dissertation deadlines approaching fast, students are already looking for properties to rent for the next new academic year. If you already have a property in Sheffield, the quicker you get it on the market, the better the chances are of it being snapped up. We get properties online within 24 hours so students can view new properties as soon as they are ready to be marketed.”
