“They cannot stop me. I will get my education, if it is in the home, school, or any place.”

Malala Yousafzai

Malala’s quest for an education is a powerful statement.

Here at Knight Frank, we know education is at the heart of everything we do whether at home, school, university, or work.

We thrive off the building and sharing of our knowledge on the education sector of the property market with our clients.

The UK offers a world class education system. British educational institutions, from the early years’ foundation to further and higher education, both mainstream and SEN, are globally recognised and internationally acclaimed.

The education sector is a vital component in the future of the global economy. With a vast range of investment opportunities available, education can offer exciting growth potential even during periods of economic difficulty.

We strive to ensure our clients have the absolute best advice and access to the services they need to keep their property assets working hard to ensure that maximum benefit is derived for them.

Our highly experienced team is dedicated to our clients in the delivery of education. Our clients range from those with multiple campuses to those with single assets. We provide advice to those in the public, private and third sector – whether an investor, owner, developer, or operator.

Whether it is negotiating a rent review or finding a new centre for studies, disposing of surplus assets, creating investment value, building student accommodation or providing a valuation for funding we can help.

Our multi-disciplined and collaborative approach ensures experts in their fields can provide constructive and ‘value add’ solutions.

We are headquartered in London and work side by side with colleagues in a variety of teams such as capital markets, planning and land agency. At the same time, we bring in knowledge from our network of regional offices across the UK and international colleagues.

We can deliver ‘joined up’ best in class advice from those that are experts in their field.
