邓迪市约70名学生因学生住房提供商Marketgait Apartments所有者破产而陷入住宿困境。1该公司于2024年7月15日进入行政管理程序，当时该建筑内有68间房间已出租。1房产所有者90 North及科威特投资公司Rasameel未能偿还570万英镑的贷款。1值得注意的是，仅在申请行政管理前几周，运营商Prestige Student Living还于6月23日在社交媒体上宣传该公寓"房间有限"。1
这起事件突出了英国学生住房部门面临的更广泛危机。1共有27名学生与该公司签订了2026-27学年的续约合同，其中17人已在暑假前搬出。1英国最大学生住房开发商Unite Group在上半年亏损4.18亿英镑，计划出售15000至20000张床位。1同时，Amare Students在伯明翰的64间房学生公寓于2024年1月进入行政管理，同月Alma Place贝尔法斯特的393间房建筑被伦敦投资者收购。1多家运营商因国际学生数量下降、成本压力上升和地区供过于求而陷入困境。1
Approximately 70 students in Dundee were forced to urgently seek alternative accommodation after Marketgait Apartments entered administration on July 15, 20241. The 116-room building had 68 units already rented when the operator initiated the formal insolvency process1. Just weeks earlier, on June 23, 2024, Prestige Student Living, the operator, had promoted the property on Facebook as having "limited rooms" available1.
The collapse has disrupted housing plans for multiple cohorts of residents. Twenty-seven students had signed contracts for the 2026-27 academic year, with seventeen having already vacated before the summer break1. The underlying financial crisis stemmed from the building's owners, 90 North and Kuwaiti investment firm Rasameel, failing to service a £5.7 million loan1.
This collapse reflects deepening turbulence within the UK student housing sector, where multiple operators are struggling with mounting pressures. Unite Group, Britain's largest student accommodation developer, reported a £418 million loss in the first half of 2024 and announced plans to sell between 15,000 and 20,000 bed spaces1. Other recent failures include a 64-bed student residence operated by Amare Students in Birmingham, which entered administration in January 2024, and the acquisition of a 393-room building at Alma Place in Belfast by a London-based investor that same month1.
