Unite Students – Results for the year ended 31 December 2024
Joe Lister, Chief Executive of Unite Students, commented:
“The business performed strongly in 2024 and demonstrated resilience in a challenging market. We continue to deliver growth in our earnings over the year and our record development pipeline supports this into the medium term. This is underpinned by our strong university relationships, sustainable rental growth and substantial investment in our portfolio.
The outlook for 2025 is encouraging with growing momentum, driven by increasing demand and a more supportive policy environment for international students. Additionally, private HMO landlords continue to leave the sector, creating a shortage of student housing.
