We are very pleased to announce that Lea Hough Chartered Surveyors has had three projects approved for our school clients in the 2024/25 CIF appeals round. With only 31 projects approved nationally at the appeals stage, Lea Hough can claim the highest number of appeals approved by any school building consultant in the North West.
This once again goes to demonstrate our expertise in the education sector, in particular in terms of funding applications.
Our school clients that had appeals approved are located in Hyndburn (Lancashire), Rochdale (Oldham) and Manchester. Each appeal has been approved after rigorous review and assessment, showcasing the high standards of our team’s work and their ability to navigate the complex appeals processes.
Furthermore, this demonstrates the expertise and dedication of our team, alongside their deep understanding of the specific requirements and regulations governing school building projects and the CIF funding process.
High CIF success rate
The success of these three CIF appeals adds to our already impressive track record of approved bids achieved in the 2024/25 round. Over the years, we have successfully secured funding for hundreds of school projects; accounting for many millions of pounds.
Our approach, which combines thorough planning, attention to detail, and close collaboration with our school clients, means we understand the challenges faced by schools when it comes to capital projects. We are therefore well placed to oversee the successful completion of projects once they are approved by the DfE.
