Newsday 1: Student Accommodation Proposal

To hear the full story click here

SCRIPT:

Winchester landlords may need approval from local authorities if they wish to turn new properties into student digs.

The government plan to give local authorities the power to stop landlords placing three or more tenants, who are not related, in a new property.

Fiona Boothe, Branch Manager of Personal Homefinders, explained what may come of this proposal.

AUDIO:

"I think this would have a far more, more of an impact on the students themselves, every year we struggle in Winchester to house the students and there's never enough student accommodation. So this will have a devastating effect on the students far more than it would landlords, 'cos landlords would just adjust, to the type of tenants they will get."

  1. some times student lettings market has become ultra successful and with that it has become ultra competitive, for any landlord thinking about entering the student market there are plenty of things to think about and now is the time to act ahead of the new academic year.
