Newcastle Rental Market
According to census data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), the population of Newcastle increased 5.3 percent between 2001 and 2011 rising from 266,200 to 280,200. Newcastle City Council has targeted a further increase to 293,400 by 2021.Since the year 2000, student numbers at Newcastle University have increased by 70%. At Northumbria University, student numbers are now at 114% above the levels seen in 2000.Newcastle is home to a number of national and international employers with many companies opening new offices in the area, in locations such as Newcastle Helix and the Stephenson Quarter. Major employers are based all over the city centre and workers can easily walk into the heart of the shopping district for food & drink, leisure, retail and transport links.Newcastle Helix is a £250 million project from Newcastle University and Newcastle City Council the largest development of its type in the UK. The 24-acre flagship site is a centre for technology, urban sustainability, science, business and commerce. Working with companies such as Siemens, Red Hat, Northern Powergrid and Northumbrian Water, the scheme aims to bring skilled workers to the local area.Supply of new residential apartments to Newcastle s city centre over the last 15 years has been minimal, with focus being towards Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) developments and in particular studio accommodation which demand a much higher rent, as opposed to cluster properties (source: Knight Frank). This has left a shortfall of good quality affordable private rental and student cluster accommodation in Newcastle city centre.Private sector rents in NE1 currently average £715pcm (1 bed), £1,050pcm (2 bed) and £1,225pcm (3 bed), with Thornton Court providing competitive rents in the marketplace which is supported by the strong track record of 100% occupancy levels year on year, whilst still providing potential rental growth opportunities.
