Education Market Insight 2026
Key Themes:
“Despite ongoing global uncertainty, evolving policy and regulatory changes, and continued cost pressures, the UK education business property markets demonstrated remarkable resilience during the first half of 2026. Investor appetite remained strong, with demand particularly robust across the SEND, alternative provision and early years education markets, where favourable demographic trends, sustained commissioning activity and strong purchaser demand continue to support long-term expansion and investment.”
