Parents with the money to invest could benefit from purchasing a student home for their children, it has been suggested.
According to the Telegraph, buying a property for students can work out as a relatively attractive investment compared to years of paying weekly rents.
What's more, it can provide parents with the ease of mind that their children will not be living in squalid digs, but in more comfortable and well-designed surroundings.
'After living in university halls for their first year, most students are expected to sort out their own accommodation for the rest of their degree and can find themselves renting dated or sparsely furnished houses,' the Telegraph warned.
It cited student accommodation website studentpad.co.uk, which revealed that parents who pick up their student children's rent bill can expect to pay £62.61 per week.
