Brownlow House

Brownlow House is a 31-bed residential care home in Manchester, operated by Mr Bradley Scott Jones & Mr Russell Scott Jones. 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 31 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.

Brownlow House sits within a local market of 77 registered care homes and about 1,915 beds in Manchester. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

What determines the value of Brownlow House

A trading care home like Brownlow House 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 Manchester
