We are pleased to be able offer properties that come with a proven, professional management structure when coupled with a quality product and high occupancy rates make this sector very hard to beat. We carefully select our developer partners and locations to ensure that we bring you the very best there is to offer. Don't be fooled by certain unscrupulous development companies that have jumped on this bandwagon with poor quality properties and low calibre facilities, they don't offer anything like the long term investor value that our developer partners do. All of our developments offer outstanding yields and all come with the added bonus of having the first years rent assured for additional peace of mind. All of our student property deals come with with fixed price legal fees......all in all we believe that student accommodation is an educated investment and one that certainly adds up! Through the last few years we have seen a significant increase in the student accommodation market, this has been partly fuelled by many local authorities rescinding the licences of substandard providers and of course the HE review conducted in 2010 which changed the way the that funding is organised for Higher Education. Just these 2 changes are already having a marked effect on this sector and many, far wiser than us, now consider this sector to be a key asset class. The demand for schemes like Tunnel Avenue type and indeed all of our student developments has never been higher, for investment and rentals alike. Investors who hold this type of property add benefit from high yields and a truly hands off investment, add in the superb location of this development and we believe it to be a real winner.

Terms and Conditions


The Programme: The programme will consist of 4 phases: Reservation and planning permission Exchange and completion Construction Certificate of completion and beginning of unit rental These phases are described below: Planning Permission and reservation period A full request for planning will be made in early January 2012 to change the current 47 bedroom hotel to 62 student accommodation units comprising of 10 en suite rooms and 52 studios, this process is expected to be completed in March 2012. Bright Blue are taking reservations for the units prior to receipt of planning permission. The fee to reserve a unit is 5,000 and will be considered as partial payment for purchase upon exchange / completion. The reservation fee is non refundable if the investor should chose not to continue with the purchase for reasons of his / her own, however if for any reason the planning permission is not granted, then the full reservation fee shall be returned to the investor. Exchange and completion Upon notification of receipt of the planning permission from Greenwich Council Bright Blue Greenwich Ltd will request the exchange of the unit to take place within 21 days. The investor will pay part of the total purchase price 56,000 at the point of exchange and completion will occur when the development is complete and signed off by the relevant authorities. A portion of the exchange monies will be disbursed to Bright Blue Greenwich to complete the purchase the land (having already exchanged with the owner prior). The balance held with the solicitor for Bright Blue Greenwich only to be disbursed to the contractor upon the project architects instruction in accordance with the pre agreed building work schedule. Failure to exchange / complete within the prescribed time frame may result in the loss of the unit and reservation fee and or exchange monies. Investors solicitors will be given full relevant documents relating to the contract of sale and lease within a timeframe sufficient to detailed review and further enquires of any documents. Construction Disbursements form the solicitor account will be made to the building contractor only once the quantity surveyor and architect have inspected and signed off that particular stage of work required for funds disbursement, as such investor money is completely safeguarded.

Certificate of completion Upon completion, a final inspection of the development will take place by the architect who will issue his final architect certificate. A final inspection will be requested of Greenwich Council; upon passing this a certificate of completion will be issued to Bright Blue Greenwich by the local authority which means the building is ready for occupancy. The architects and Local Authority certificates will be forward to the buyers solicitor and a final payment request shall be formally made. In addition to providing regular construction updates, Bright Blue will also notify investors that the date of completion is drawing closer, approximately two weeks prior to actual completion of the works. Investors will then have 28 days from that notification of completion to forward the balance of the funds due for purchase, however failure to forward the balance of the funds will render the sale and lease contract null and void and all monies paid to date will be forfeit Bright Blues management company will liaise with the various Universities as completion draws near to schedule the move in of students. Immediately upon receipt of the completion certificate and HMO licences, Bright Blue will inform the relevant Universities that the building is ready for occupancy and work with them to place the students. Assurances In addition to the first year gross rental assurance as detailed above, Bright Blue will also assure that rental income at the accrued rate will commence 30th November 2012 regardless whether there is a tenant in residence or not. If Bright Blue Greenwich does not receive the certificate of completion on or before the 30th November for any reason other than circumstances beyond its control then the rental assurance shall be in effect from 30th November 2012 regardless of the state of completion of the development. Although the rental assurance will commence on the 30th November 2012 and accrue as described on behalf of the investor, these funds will actually be paid out to the investor on the first day of the month following receipt of the final payment of the purchase price, or within 10 days of receipt of the final payment whichever is the latter
