Financing healthcare property in Cheshire
We are a commercial finance brokerage for the medical and care sector. Across Cheshire we arrange purchase finance for owner-occupiers and investors, 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.
Demand for medical and care space in Cheshire is underpinned by an ageing population, steady pressure on the primary care estate, and continued consolidation among dental and pharmacy groups, which keeps a regular flow of practice sales, partnership buy-ins and care-home transactions across the county's 1,027 registered premises.
For owner-occupiers, buying the premises you trade from turns rent into equity and gives you control of your largest fixed cost. For investors, premises let to a healthcare tenant on a long lease can offer durable, often partly reimbursement-backed income. We will give you an honest read on the deal and which lenders are likely to support it.
