PBSA Property Photography that lets rooms on amenity
The student scheme imposes constraints that shape the property deliverable — those constraints are the interesting part. Purpose-built student accommodation is let on amenity, so the set has to give equal weight to the studio, the shared kitchen, the study lounge and the walk to campus.
