Student lets
A student house can be an HMO, a licence to occupy, or an AST with a guarantor. The summer void is a cash-flow fact, not a footnote.
What this page will not do
- A university town's average house price is not a student rent.
- Purpose-built student accommodation is often a different asset from a house let to students.
- It will not name a lender, a product, or an approval chance.
Questions
- Is a student let a holiday let?
- No. Use the holiday-let guide if the stay is short and the use is holiday.
- Can I use the ICR calculator?
- Yes, with a rent you believe is realistic for the weeks it is actually paid. The calculator does not check that.
