There are roughly 16,500 care and nursing homes in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, housing over 440,000 people who require around-the-clock support to live their lives. A recent market report found that residential care settings in the United Kingdom are collectively worth more than £26 billion, making it a potentially lucrative industry to be a part of.
The success of this essential sector also means that existing care home owners can part ways with their businesses and turn a healthy return on investment (ROI). However, achieving the right price depends on the professional guidance you receive along the way.
Our agents represent buyers and sellers alike, helping them navigate the marketing, research and negotiation aspects so you can secure a favourable deal. Call 0113 340 9840 or use the get in touch form if you need assistance buying or selling a care home in the UK.
One of the key decisions you need to make when buying a care home is whether you want to own a leasehold or freehold business, and we are pleased to sell both on behalf of our clients.
Leasehold care homes are businesses that do not include a property in the purchase. You will take over an existing rental agreement or negotiate new terms with the building owner.

Freehold care homes, on the other hand, do include property in the business purchase agreement. Prices for these companies tend to be higher, but can yield larger ROIs if the building appreciates over time.
“We understand that buying or selling a care home is a big decision, and our goal is to ensure you achieve the best value while feeling confident throughout the transaction.”

As with any business, a care home’s true value lies in its trading potential. Therefore, a trade-related valuation is needed, which will consider turnover, gross profit, staff costs, EBITDA and other expenses. Any premises included in the deal will also be evaluated and added to the purchase price.
