Riverside Capital has performed a rolling refurbishment of its Newcastle student HMOs, just in time for the new academic year.
The 44-bed collection of properties in the popular Jesmond area of Newcastle has been updated in line with the high standard of Riverside Capital student properties, with all rooms now occupied, and rents paid in full.
The works have delivered premium student housing to the Newcastle market and will allow us to achieve a projected rent of £110pppw in the forthcoming academic years, sitting 11.1% above current average market rents.
In addition, a further three bedrooms have also been created at the properties. These will come into play in the 2021/2022 academic year, providing further rental uplift.

Riverside Capital has completed the first phase of construction works at Sherborne House, 119-121 Cannon Street.
The works, which form the first phase of an overall scheme to refresh and re-brand the building, include the installation of a brand new reception area, lifts, cycle storage and shower facilities.
The completion of these works is an exciting milestone for the project, with phase two of the refurbishment - an extension of the property - due to commence in Q4 this year.
Riverside Capital is currently in talks with regard to new lettings, and hopes to announce details soon.
Riverside Capital has achieved planning permission to make improvements to its student properties in Newcastle.
The permissions will allow for the addition of six bedrooms, bringing the total number of bedrooms across the Newcastle element of the portfolio up to 50.
Such improvements mean that, once let, the additional bedrooms will boost the income from these properties - based on current income levels - by at least 14%.
The student properties, sitting within the upmarket area of Jesmond, have already seen a positive income boost, with a 6.4% uplift in 2019/2020 on the previous academic year.
Riverside Capital's Student Housing Portfolio also holds a collection of student HMOs in the popular Wavertree area of Liverpool and will be expanding in 2020 to include further properties in Cardiff.
