Hello weatherman. The most recent trading statement is here and seems positive (or not negative) on these issues.
https://www.londonstockexchang...
Regarding 'admissions' and 'local rental cost', the following lines seem relevant:
"The outlook for international demand remains encouraging thanks to growing student mobility and the increasing attractiveness of the UK as a study destination as competitor markets introduce more restrictive policies."
"Looking ahead, the outlook remains robust, underpinned by growing demand from school leavers and stabilising international admissions."
"Home Office data shows 7% growth in applications for study visas in the year to August with applications in the peak summer months in line with 2024 levels."
"Sales to date deliver 4.0% rental growth for 2025/26 (2024/25 8.2%)"
"Rental growth driving modest valuation increases in Q3 (USAF: 0.0%, LSAV 0.4%)"
