Pemdale

Pemdale is a 6-bed residential care home in Sandy, operated by Turning Point. It holds a CQC rating of Good, a solid CQC rating that supports mainstream lending appetite. For a buyer, operator or lender the numbers that matter are its 6 registered beds, its rating and the strength of the operator behind it. We arrange the finance to buy, refinance or develop a home of this kind.

Pemdale sits within a local market of 5 registered care homes and about 118 beds in Sandy. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

What determines the value of Pemdale

A trading care home like Pemdale is valued as a going concern, on its stabilised trading profit (EBITDARM) capitalised at a market multiple, rather than as bricks and mortar. A specialist healthcare valuer prepares the figure, and it can sit well above or below a simple per-bed estimate depending on how the home trades. The per-bed guide above is a starting point, not a valuation.

• Occupancy: how full the home runs, and how quickly empty beds refill
• Fee mix: the balance of private, self-funded and local-authority residents
• CQC rating: Good here, a direct input to both value and lender appetite
• Staffing: care-hours per resident and agency reliance
• The building: room sizes, the en-suite and single-room share, and any capital works needed
• Location and catchment: local demand, competition and the self-funder base around Sandy
