Financing healthcare property in Leighton Buzzard

If you own or are buying a surgery, dental practice, pharmacy, clinic or care home in Leighton Buzzard, we arrange purchase finance, refinance to release equity or move off an expiring facility, and development funding for ground-up and conversion projects. A healthcare premises is valued partly on the bricks and mortar and partly on the business that trades from it, so we work with lenders that understand the sector rather than a general high-street bank.

For owner-occupiers, buying the premises you trade from turns rent into equity and gives you control of your largest fixed cost.

Whether you are an owner-occupier buying in Leighton Buzzard, an investor with a healthcare tenant, or an operator refinancing, we will give you an honest read on the deal and the terms that fit the asset.
