Experts in property for education
We provide a range of property consultancy services to both public and private organisations in the education sector – from higher education and further education providers, schools, academies and nurseries, to affiliated commercial ventures and developers.
We advise on everything from masterplanning and strategic education estate planning, to the maintenance of existing estates, the valuation of education estates / buildings, and the acquisition and disposal of potential development land or buildings.
With many of our senior partners active Governors or Trustees of state and independent education establishments, we also have an in-depth understanding of how to be a critical friend to senior leadership teams, adding value which goes beyond property expertise.
