UniHomes, a student accommodation platform, has announced a strategic investment from Macquarie Capital, marking what it calls “a major milestone in its growth journey.”

Alongside this, private equity investor LDC is also reinvesting in the business, following a successful two-year partnership, having first backed UniHomes in July 2023.

The investment will accelerate expansion to other markets including purpose-built student accommodation, Build To Rent and professional sharers. 

Since its formation in 2015, UniHomes has specialised in bills inclusive accommodation. It has parentered with some 1,000 letting agents and operators, covering over 60 locations across the UK. 

Phil Greaves, chief excecutive at UniHomes, says: “Our partnership with LDC has been an important part of our recent success, helping us to expand nationally and invest in our people and the technology that underpins our platform. We’re delighted to welcome Macquarie as we set out on our next phase of growth, their investment and support will be instrumental as we continue to enhance our offering to the rental market.” 

And Nick Patrick, managing director at Macquarie Capital, adds: “UniHomes’ leading market position and relentless focus on student experience really stood out to us. We look forward to supporting the business as they find more ways to support tenants across the UK. This is Macquarie Capital’s latest private equity investment in 2025 and reflects our continued commitment to supporting high-growth businesses in the UK and Europe with flexible capital solutions and strategic investment.”
