Here at Pat Robson & Co. we know the importance of supporting student property Landlords. Newcastle is a vibrant student city with two major universities, Newcastle University and Northumbria University, home to tens of thousands of students. Meaning the demand for Jesmond student housing and other student accommodation is rising each year.

Pat Robson & Co. have a portfolio of over 300 student properties that are launched to the market in October each year, looking for tenants for the following academic year. We have helped many Landlords over the years find the right tenants for their student properties, whilst Landlords help us, as a leading Newcastle lettings agent, meet the high demand we have each year for student properties.

Our student lettings and property management teams help Landlords navigate the unique demands of this sector. Whether you own one student property or an entire portfolio, here’s how Pat Robson & Co. can help you:

Why Rent To Students?

Renting to students has several benefits for HMO Landlords in Newcastle:

• Annual demand consistency means the supply for student properties never declines.
• Reliable income & strong rental yields make it a profitable investment.
• Fixed term tenancies make it easier to conduct maintenance or any renovation work that needs to take place.

However, as with any tenancy, renting to students also comes with challenges with different compliance issues and an increased risk of maintenance required. That’s why our student property management in Newcastle is designed to take the pressure off you.
