It depends on house prices as to how prudent it is . I know a few parents who did very well out of such an arrangement - rent from student friends paid the mortgage , their kid got free accommodation and they got a fat profit at the end !

Much student accommodation ( and I quickly exclude any owned and let by Krizon from this observation ) is in poor condition , let by avaricious landlords at high rents. University accommodation is now increasingly expensive.

Surely the only question here is what is the market rent for a room in a property of that size in that area and that is what Daughter A should pay.
