Care Home Development, Sales and Purchases

There is a growing demand for care services throughout the UK and that growth is expected to continue for many years.

This strong sector provides many opportunities for investors and providers and is a focus for many developers looking to optimise value. Care services can include care homes, residential homes, nursing homes and later living and supported living properties, to name a few.

We have acted for numerous developers and care home providers, and operators (large and small). We have helped them navigate the particular challenges that face care home developments, care home businesses and the properties they occupy, whether in terms of selling, buying or development and the optimal structures for so doing. Our knowledge and experience of the care home sector allow us to provide clear and practical advice to those already working within care services or looking to invest in or purchase a care services business.

We have substantial experience in providing construction advice about existing or new developments (to ensure sites are marketable and suitable for purchases and intended use), dealing with the transfer of leasehold interests, landlord consents, sales, leasebacks, as well as funding, refinancing and restructuring advice to meet the requirements of a care home business.

Our Corporate and Employment department colleagues can also assist in relation to care home business acquisitions and disposals (and the associated due diligence) and provide employment/HR advice, respectively.

Our experts across the firm can assist whether you are an existing operator requiring support or an investor looking to purchase a provider or its business in a landscape of ever-increasing regulatory demands.
