The living asset class such as student accommodation and build-to-rent are expected to show the best financial performance in 2023, according to a new industry survey of BPF members, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with Grosvenor.

The results, gathered from over 100 UK property developers, funders and advisers, forecasts a split between ‘alternative’ and ‘traditional’ real estate asset performance over the next twelve months.
When asked to identify which three asset classes would outperform in 2023, almost half of respondents (47%) identified life sciences, 42% selected student accommodation, and 41% chose build-to-rent.
The key benefits of the alternative sector includes long leases, indexed rental uplifts, better covenants and the potential to diversify portfolios.

We advise on all aspects of alternative investment classes including:

  • purpose built student accommodation (PBSA)
  • build to rent (BTR)
  • private rental sector (PRS)
  • healthcare and life sciences
  • later living and care homes

Our clients include property developers, investors, lenders and borrowers across these asset classes.
