Student accommodation is very different to what it was 10 years ago. Gone are the days of dingy bedsits and “Rigsby” type landlords.
The Philip James Students division are pioneering the changes along with their student landlords so that they are properly prepared for the future.
Neil Ryder, manager of Philip James Student Properties tells us “Things have changed drastically over the last few years in the student accommodation market, not only in Manchester but as a country as a whole. The marketplace has become much more competitive. With the increased competition, students are expecting much higher standards than ever before. We have been working closely with our landlords for the last couple of years explaining to them what they need to do now and in the future to maximise our landlord’s returns.”

“Annual tuition fees introduced a couple of years ago has definitely impacted the numbers of students enrolling. It’s simple economics. There is an oversupply of poorly presented student properties throughout the UK. Those landlords who are willing to make the changes that the market now demands will win in the long term.”
“All our student landlords have been contacted and advised on any recommended changes we feel necessary with their property. Students want as standard these days things like newly painted properties, modern furnishings, good quality laminate or carpeted floor coverings, flat screen TV’s and free broadband.”
