Investors pouring into London student housing as values rise

London

JOYCE Ge, a student from China who is studying business management at King's College, pays £880 (S$1,830) a month to live in a pint-size, stylish studio apartment in the far reaches of east London, in a building with roof decks gazing toward the distant city skyline. Her rent covers water and electricity, as well as Wi-Fi and cleaning of common spaces every two weeks.

Many investors are betting that there will be a lot more Joyce Ges arriving in the coming years.
