Morgan has extensive expertise in advising on independent schools, special schools and children’s day nurseries, focusing on valuation and agency.

She advises banks and other lenders, provides investor due diligence in support of acquisitions, both of freeholds with occupational leases on behalf of pension funds and other investors, and also for schools groups on their acquisitions of schools as trading entities. She has also negotiated leases of nurseries and sales of education property as trading entities. Morgan has advised on many of the top UK groups and her advice is highly sought-after by our clients.

Morgan advised on several landmark deals, including a substantial sale and leaseback portfolio and an additional ground rent portfolio. The advice provided to the purchasers in each instance was crucial in determining the sustainability of the rents in the context of the trading performance of each asset and thus the pricing.
