Financing healthcare property in West Midlands

West Midlands's largest healthcare segment is 811 care homes, 25% of its registered premises, and its 512 supported living services stand out as a particularly dense local cluster. We arrange the property finance behind that estate: purchase, refinance and development funding for West Midlands's surgeries, dental practices, pharmacies, clinics and care homes.

Financing healthcare property in West Midlands

We are a commercial finance brokerage for the medical and care sector. Across West Midlands 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 West Midlands 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 3,282 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.

Commercial finance is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Any terms quoted are indicative and subject to status and valuation.
