Understanding trade-related valuations for care properties
Care properties cannot be valued like standard commercial buildings. Their worth is intrinsically linked to operational success, resident welfare and regulatory compliance. A trade-related valuation examines both the physical premises and the business operating within it.
Our valuers use the profits method to assess care properties, analysing revenue streams, occupancy patterns and operational costs alongside property condition and location. This approach provides an accurate reflection of market value for owners, prospective buyers and financial institutions.
Every valuation we complete adheres to RICS Global Standards, giving you confidence that our findings meet regulatory and professional requirements.
“Care property valuations demand specialist sector knowledge. We look beyond bricks and mortar to examine CQC performance, staff retention, resident mix and local market dynamics. This comprehensive approach ensures stakeholders understand exactly what they are investing in or lending against.”
Common scenarios requiring care property valuations
You may need a specialist care property valuation for several situations:
Acquisition decisions
Prospective buyers require accurate valuations to determine whether asking prices reflect genuine market worth. Our reports provide the evidence needed for informed offer negotiations.
Sales preparation
Owners planning to exit the market need realistic valuations to set appropriate asking prices and identify value-enhancement opportunities before marketing.
Refinancing applications
Lenders require independent valuations when considering loan applications or reviewing existing facilities. Our reports give financial institutions confidence in their lending decisions.
Dispute resolution
During disagreements between stakeholders or insolvency proceedings, trade-related valuers may serve as Expert Witnesses, providing impartial evidence for legal proceedings.
