It holds a CQC rating of Outstanding, the top CQC rating, a strong quality and covenant signal a lender reads favourably.

We arrange the finance to buy, refinance or develop a home of this kind.

Belong Atherton Care Village sits within a local market of 69 registered care homes and about 2,604 beds in Wigan. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

What determines the value of Belong Atherton Care Village

A trading care home like Belong Atherton Care Village 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: Outstanding here, a direct input to both value and lender appetite
• Clinical staffing: nurse cover, agency reliance and the wage bill
• 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 Wigan
