The Open University accommodation

Some parents feel purchasing a property is a much better option for their children studying at The Open University, as they can benefit from capital growth over time. This equity could then either serve as a pension or used to purchase additional properties for other children.

Indeed, buying a property as an investment is a clever way of avoiding potentially costly rental costs and also serves as a long-term investment strategy.

If you have equity in your family home that you could release through remortgaging, or you have enough savings for a deposit, then investing in a property while your children study at The Open University may be for you.
