Major Scottish city faces UK's biggest student flat shortage

Glasgow has the largest shortage of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) in the UK, it has been declared.

A new report has found that both Glasgow and Edinburgh are facing a “considerable lack of supply” of PBSA that could ultimately undermine the prospects of their academic institutions.

Despite a number of PBSA blocks springing up over recent years, and more being planned and under development, Scotland’s two biggest cities are understood to be thousands of beds short of what their student populations require.

Analysis of the PBSA market by property firm Savills found that Glasgow needs an additional 22,000 beds to meet requirements for student accommodation in the city. There is also a shortfall in Edinburgh, with Scotland’s capital city requiring 17,000 further beds.
