Editors Notes:


UNITE is the UK's number one student accommodation company. Led by strong values
at its heart, UNITE delivers the real student experience. It helps to transform
the cities they are part of, by driving economic regeneration into the area as
well as contributing to raising the standard of rented accommodation in the UK.


The Group focuses on the provision and management of high quality, well-located
student accommodation and hospitality services at affordable prices in strong
higher education markets. UNITE undertakes the planning work, development and
management of sites, often working closely with the Universities and Colleges to
deliver accommodation for students across all ages and nationalities. UNITE
developments typically show high occupancy levels and robust rental growth as
demand continues to rise for places on UK Higher Education courses and for
quality and safe accommodation.


UNITE has pioneered the establishment of student accommodation as an asset class
within the Real Estate sector. Since the listing of UNITE on the London Stock
Exchange in 1999 the company has grown significantly and now operates 30,996
completed and managed bed spaces in the portfolio, with a further 8,642 bed
spaces secured for future delivery. As at 30 June 2005 the portfolio was valued
at £1.12 billion. UNITE is a constituent of the FTSE-250 group of companies and
has a current market capitalisation of £422 million.
