Rising numbers of young people going to university and a relatively low supply of new student housing means that by 2025 the UK will face a shortfall of around 450,000 student beds.
StuRents – which says it’s the country’s largest portal for student accommodation – has calculated that just over 248,000 beds are likely to be delivered between 2017 and 2025. However, an additional 700,000 students will be needing accommodation.
That means a shortfall of circa 450,000 beds; even current data suggests that there is a shortage of around 207,000 beds this year.
