The UK Investor Magazine was delighted to be joined by Unite Group CEO Joe Lister to delve into the FTSE 100 student accommodation specialist’s recent results and growth plans.
We start by exploring the rental growth across Unite Group’s portfolio of student accommodation and the factors influencing demand.
Joe explains a shift in Labour’s tone around international students, who make up around 30% of the students that rent Unite’s properties.
We look at the company’s committed pipeline of £1.2bn of new properties, drilling down into the specific cities Unite has earmarked for expansion and the features and amenities Unite is providing its students.
Unite Group’s dividend rose 5% over the past year; Joe outlines the group’s dividend policy and factors the could drive future dividend growth.
