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

The Old School House sits within a local market of 24 registered care homes and about 683 beds in Coalville. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.

What determines the value of The Old School House

A trading care home like The Old School 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 Coalville
