X1 Becomes Liverpool’s Fastest-Growing Student Accommodation Provider After Doubling Portfolio in Six Months

X1 Sales & Lettings has cemented its position as one of Liverpool’s fastest-growing student accommodation providers, after doubling its student property portfolio in just six months.

At the beginning of the year, X1 Sales & Lettings managed 719 student units across Liverpool. That figure has now surged 1,420 units, as the company took on three entire student buildings.

This expansion comes as landlords owning over 700 student beds in the city decided to move their student properties from other agents to X1, marking a significant show of confidence in the company’s service quality, marketing strength, and occupancy performance.

“We’re incredibly proud to have become the go-to name for student accommodation in Liverpool said Melissa Green, Managing Director. “Two key things have driven our growth – trust from our landlords and loyalty from our student tenants. We’ve built our business around experience, community, and choice, and the results speak for themselves – every single property is already fully booked ahead of the 2025/26 academic year.”

Liverpool continues to rank among the UK’s most desirable student cities. Lower rents than in Manchester and southern cities, its vibrant nightlife, world-famous music and cultural scene, and the presence of prestigious universities and performing arts schools make it a magnet for students from across the country and overseas.

“Liverpool offers everything a student could want – affordability, atmosphere, and opportunity,” added Melissa. “And with its central location in the UK, it’s perfectly placed for both study and social life.”

For students, X1 Sales & Lettings offers more than just a room – it delivers a complete community experience. With properties across Liverpool’s most sought-after student areas, X1 provides an unmatched range of accommodation types and prices, from £79 to £219 per week, ensuring there’s something for every budget.

X1’s student development features on-site gyms, cinema rooms, game areas, outdoor gardens, and dedicated study spaces. Beyond facilities, X1’s student marketing and events team run regular social activities such as move-in parties, toastie mornings, pottery painting, and pumpkin carving – helping students feel part of something from day one.

Tenants also benefit from the X1 Loyalty Card, which unlocks exclusive discounts at local bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and activity venues – another reason X1 is known for going above and beyond in student living.

With every room now filled for the 2025/26 academic year and over 1,400 student rooms occupied on behalf of 720 landlords, X1 is leading the way in Liverpool’s thriving student accommodation sector.

“We’re proud to be part of the city’s incredible growth story,” said Melissa. “Liverpool has an energy that’s unmatched, and X1 is right at the heart of it – helping shape the student skyline and experience.”
