It’s the episode you’ve been waiting for…
An explosion in student numbers. A contraction in houses of multiple occupancy (HMO). Challenges to building new developments. Any one of these could have created a PBSA supply issue – but together, they’ve created a crisis in many cities.
Our expert panel looks at how this came about, the ways in which this is playing out in some of those cities, what the data is telling us for a longer term picture and - most importantly - some of the potential solutions to this issue.
Hosted by Jenny Shaw, this month’s panel includes:
- Sarah Jones, Partner at Cushman & Wakefield
- Iain Garfield, Director of Estates and Facilities at Newcastle University
- Simon Jones, Group HE Director at Unite Students
- Eleanor Whitford Kelly, Market Intelligence Manager at Unite Students
