Podcast: £100M of auction sales and is it time to diversify into the Student sector?

In our newest Allsop propchat podcast we review the last four days of auctions which has raised over £100M – who is buying what and why? 

With over 400 transactions there is a lot to cover including the most popular lots in each sector, and why?

George Walker, Commercial Auctioneer and Richard Adamson, Residential Auctioneer are also joined in the studio by Anthony Hart Student Housing Specialist to consider the pros and cons of the resilient student sector.

Is now the time to diversify into student living? How is the sector different to single let assets, the costs, opportunities, how to identify the best towns and cities and historic rental growth trends.
