Falconer's Court is a 7-bed residential care home in Sevenoaks, operated by Aspens Charities. 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 7 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.

Falconer's Court sits within a local market of 25 registered care homes and about 1,482 beds in Sevenoaks. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

Financing a home like Falconer's Court

Whether you are acquiring Falconer's Court, refinancing it onto better terms, or funding works, the facility is structured on the operator covenant, the CQC rating, occupancy and the fee mix. A commercial mortgage typically funds 70 to 75 percent of value over 15 to 25 years; going-concern operator finance is sized on EBITDARM; bridging covers a fast purchase or a pre-CQC period. We place the case with the lenders that back residential homes of this profile.

On an indicative basis a 7-bed home values at around £427k using an England average of about £61k per bed (LaingBuisson, a Fair Cost of Care valuation basis, not a transaction price). A trading care home is actually valued on its stabilised profit and going-concern value by a specialist healthcare valuer, so the real figure turns on occupancy, fee mix and the operator. As a rough guide a lender might advance up to about £299k against a home of this size and rating, sized on trading profit rather than bricks.

What determines the value of Falconer's Court

A trading care home like Falconer's Court 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 Sevenoaks

FAQ

Financing Falconer's Court: common questions

How is Falconer's Court valued?

On its stabilised trading profit and going-concern value, assessed by a specialist healthcare valuer, not on a per-bed rule of thumb. Occupancy, the fee mix, the CQC rating (currently Good) and staffing cost all feed the figure. Send us the trading accounts and we will give a view on value and what a lender would advance.

What should I check before buying Falconer's Court?

The things that move value and fundability: the CQC rating and inspection history, occupancy and how fast beds refill, the fee mix, agency-staffing reliance, the building condition and en-suite provision, and the trading accounts behind the price. We pressure-test these as part of arranging the finance.

How much would it cost to buy a home like Falconer's Court?

On an indicative £61k-per-bed basis a 7-bed home is in the region of £427k, but a trading care home is valued on its stabilised profit and going-concern value, not a per-bed rule of thumb. The real price turns on occupancy, the fee mix and the operator. We can give a fundability view once we see the trading figures.

Can I get finance to buy Falconer's Court?

Most lenders fund up to 70 to 75 percent of value on a trading residential care home, sized on stabilised trading profit (EBITDARM). Leverage reflects the operator covenant, the CQC rating (currently Good), occupancy and the fee mix. We shortlist the lenders most likely to back a home of this profile.
