Purpose Built Student Accommodation - Or PBSA for short.

Weather it’s a newly built development or a well-established asset, we are now in the market for PBSA. Refer these to me directly to vet, and ill liaise with head of underwriting to obtain a decision.

A general list of questions such as:

• Location
• University Ranking
• Property Quality
• Lease terms – If the property is leased then the key terms need to be understood including how any break clauses work.
• Occupancy Levels – What are the historic occupancy levels
• Competition – What does the PBSA pipeline for the University / City imply for future occupancy levels / rental expectations?
• Overseas Students – What proportion at University / property?

HTB also consider Vulnerable Tenants:

The following types of properties and tenancies providing the property is let on a corporate agreement to a local authority, Housing Association, or strong corporate / charity and, where applicable, an experienced and reputable CQA-registered care provider is in place:

• Housing Association, or strong corporate / charity
• Properties where 24 hour or live-in care is provided
• Properties providing emergency housing accommodation.
• Properties where housing is provided for rehabilitation or social transitional purposes

For clarity direct lets to vulnerable tenants are outside of appetite. Care Homes are also outside of appetite.

For semi-commercial cases where, following valuation, the residential aspect is less than 50% we will continue to lend up to 75% LTV and 1.25x interest cover.
Note that where the residential aspect is less than 50%, we may need to reprice the application, which could impact serviceability.

HTB accept cases where properties are let to a third party for emergency housing, rehabilitation or social transitional purposes, provided there is a credible professional operator providing appropriate management.

The threshold above which a mortgage debenture is required is £2m.
