Deakin’s Yard is located in Newcastle-under-Lyme, just minutes from Keele University — one of the UK’s most vibrant student hubs. The Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector here is in short supply, with occupancy levels consistently high and demand outstripping the availability of modern, high-quality units. For the 2025/26 academic year, Deakin’s Yard achieved full occupancy, demonstrating the strength of the local market. Nationally, PBSA has proven to be one of the most resilient property sectors, with rental growth supported by rising student numbers and a lack of suitable housing stock. Forecasts point to sustained demand and strong yields in well-located university towns, with modern schemes such as Deakin’s Yard outperforming older stock. For investors, this means reliable rental income and long-term security in a sector where supply cannot keep pace with growth.
