Healthcare property finance in Brighton
Brighton's largest healthcare segment is 134 care homes, 30% of its registered premises, and 90% of its rated locations are Good or Outstanding, in line with the Sussex average. We arrange the property finance behind that local sector: purchase, refinance and development funding for Brighton's surgeries, dental practices, pharmacies, clinics and care homes.
Financing healthcare property in Brighton
We are a commercial finance brokerage for the medical and care sector. If you own or are buying a surgery, dental practice, pharmacy, clinic or care home in Brighton, 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.
Demand for medical and care space in Brighton 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 acquisitions, partnership buy-ins and care-home transactions across the town's 450 registered premises. On the wider local market, prices have risen around 3.8% over the past year, around a median of £415,000, a residential temperature check rather than a commercial figure, but useful backdrop when we assess a premises here.
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. Whether you are an owner-occupier buying in Brighton, 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.
