Granya Capital Advisory acts as placement agent and transaction intermediary across the UK purpose-built student accommodation sector, working with institutional investors, family offices, and private capital on single-asset and portfolio transactions.
PBSA remains one of the most sought-after asset classes for long-income institutional capital, underpinned by structural undersupply against a growing student population. We work across operational stock, forward-funded developments, and senior debt structuring for PBSA schemes.
Sourcing across institutional PBSA investors, including transaction mining, fund mandate cross-referencing, and direct ownership tracing.
Single-asset disposals through to large, multi-hundred-million-pound portfolio processes.

Off-market disposals are run through targeted, confidential outreach to a pre-qualified buyer list rather than public marketing — this keeps the process discreet and avoids wider market signalling. Granya Capital structures and runs this process for PBSA owners across the UK.
Institutional demand for UK PBSA comes from long-income funds, specialist student accommodation investors, and international capital seeking exposure to structurally undersupplied markets. The right buyer depends on asset location, lease/operational structure, and deal size.
Typically: occupancy and rental data, operating costs, lease or nomination agreement terms, and any planning/consent documentation. Granya Capital can advise on what's needed for your specific asset.
