What lenders may focus on
Care home commercial mortgages may involve review of occupancy, fee income, staffing, profitability, property condition, registration position, inspection history, management experience and deposit.
Because the business is operationally sensitive, lenders often want a strong explanation of both property value and trading sustainability.
Useful documents
Useful evidence can include accounts, management accounts, occupancy data, fee schedule, care home registration details, inspection reports, property information, valuation, purchase terms and business plan.
Any refurbishment, capacity change or change of operator should be explained clearly.
Alternative structures
If a care home purchase needs speed, refurbishment or a staged approach, bridging finance or a more structured property route may need to be reviewed with the commercial mortgage option.
