CASE STUDIES SEN SCHOOLS FORMER SCHOOL, WANDSWORTH, SW11 Upon learning that this building was soon to be placed on the market, and knowing we had an active client seeking premises for a SEN school in this area, we acted swiftly on their behalf to engage with the seller. A successful deal was negotiated for our client to acquire the property on an owner-occupier basis, and the transaction has now been completed. We understand that the school is scheduled to open in 2026. FORMER SCHOOL, BURY ST EDMUNDS, IP32 We negotiated the acquisition of the freehold interest in this site on behalf of our client and subsequently introduced a prospective tenant. With both parties collaborating to complete the transaction, the tenant is set to open a high-quality SEN school. Given the competitive bidding process for the property, we were delighted to provide our client with the assurance of a suitable tenant, enabling them to package the deal and successfully secure the property. FORMER SCHOOL, BANBURY, OX17 Thanks to our expertise in the market and strong relationships with other agents, we were offered the opportunity by an agent we had worked with earlier this year to present this school to a retained client before it officially entered the market. We promptly shared the opportunity with an SEN school we knew would be interested and successfully secured the freehold purchase on their behalf following a competitive bidding process. Our clients are thrilled to continue the building’s educational use and will be opening a state-of-the-art SEN school in 2026. FORMER SCHOOL, TAMWORTH, B79 Our clients acquired the site as an investment and subsequently instructed us to find a tenant. Demand was very high even before the property was formally marketed, and we were approached by an SEN school with strong local demand. However, the school was only interested in purchasing the freehold and would not consider renting. They submitted an offer attractive enough for our clients to sell the freehold, and we successfully negotiated the sale. The school is now undertaking extensive renovations and is set to open a brand-new SEN school in 2026.
