The Four Seasons

The Four Seasons is a 16-bed residential care home in Littleborough, operated by Zaydan Healthcare Limited. 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 16 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.

The Four Seasons sits within a local market of 6 registered care homes and about 171 beds in Littleborough. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

What determines the value of The Four Seasons

A trading care home like The Four Seasons 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 Littleborough
