Investor suitability:

Our properties can be bought either individually or in bulk. As such, they are suitable for investors of all types.

A minimum cash budget of £75,000 is recommended, however, some properties are available with finance, so can be purchased with less commitment.

Our focus is on fully managed properties, so an ideal investor would be looking for a source of passive income.

Passive investing - "set & forget"

Passive investing is never "zero" work, but some models require more work than others.

An ideal passive investment model would look something like this:

Why invest in care homes and holiday lets?

  • Demand for both is growing and sustainable (more staycations, more elderly).
  • It is still possible for developers to buy sites at reasonable prices. Big money is pouring in quickly though, so there is no better time than now to get involved.
  • Both are well suited to full on-site professional management.
  • Both have tax advantages that are not available in other sectors such as buy-to-let.
  • Our properties in these sectors are also offered with long term fixed income contracts and contractual buy backs.

Case Study: Dow Brook Care Home Investment

Through our industry contacts we identified a highly experienced team within the care sector. Their team of consultants had been working in the care sector for over 20 years. This has included working with high street banks to turn around care homes in administration.

Their business model focuses on two key aspects:

  • Financial control
  • Care Quality

Using their experience as turnaround specialists, this team had begun identifying undervalued sites with untapped potential.

At Dow Brook, they identified the following areas for improvement:

  • Minor refurbishment - very little needed, the rooms and ensuites were large, and the building standard was already high. A repaint and other superficial works sufficed.
  • Extension - an orangery as further social space for residents.
  • Improvements to the grounds - allotments at waist height would allow residents to garden easily.
  • Enrichment - a dedicated hair salon for visiting hair stylists.
  • Staff - great care was taken in hiring an experienced site manager.
