FOR SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION 21ST OCTOBER 2026: • Rare opportunity to acquire 15 leasehold interests within a well-established purpose-built student accommodation scheme • Units configured as two complete 6-bedroom cluster flats and three studio apartments • Net operating income of £43,000 for the 2024/2025 academic year, equating to approximately £2,867 per unit • Stable income forecast for the 2025/2026 academic year • Fully managed, hands-off investment operated by Cloud Student Homes Strong occupancy rate of approximately 95% across the scheme This opportunity constitutes a professionally operated pooled student investment structure, with returns deriving from the wider trading performance of the block rather than individual unit performance.

We understand that gross income from the scheme is combined into a single income pool before operating costs, service charges, ground rent, and management fees are deducted.

The resulting net operating income is distributed to individual unit owners via a pre-defined weighting ratio based on unit type and relative rental value.

Through this structure, performance is linked to the whole scheme's success, mitigating exposure to single-unit vacancy risk.

The scheme is fully managed by Cloud Student Homes, encompassing lettings, rent collection, maintenance, and tenant management, providing a hands-off passive investment opportunity.

Tenancies are agreed on a 44–48 week basis, aligning with the academic year. The scheme does not offer short-term summer lets, allowing for planned annual maintenance and refurbishment.
