Indicative value
Stonesby House LTD is a 14-bed residential care home in Wigston, operated by Stonesby House Ltd. It holds a CQC rating of Requires improvement, a CQC rating that narrows lender appetite and tends to mean tighter terms until it improves. For a buyer, operator or lender the numbers that matter are its 14 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.
Stonesby House LTD sits within a local market of 66 registered care homes and about 1,798 beds in Wigston. That competitive set, and the rating profile across it, is part of how an acquisition here is underwritten.
Financing a home like Stonesby House LTD
Whether you are acquiring Stonesby House LTD, 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 14-bed home values at around £854k 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 £598k against a home of this size and rating, sized on trading profit rather than bricks.

What determines the value of Stonesby House LTD
A trading care home like Stonesby House LTD 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: Requires improvement 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 Wigston
