How care property investment works
The basic structure: you buy the property, an operator occupies it under a lease, and rent is paid under the terms agreed.
Investor guide
Your guide to care property investment
Everything we think an investor should understand before buying a property intended for supported living or specialist care.
Understanding leases
Lease length, break clauses, rent reviews, repairing obligations and who carries which cost. This is the detail that determines your actual return.
Understanding operators
Who the operator is, how they are funded, their regulatory standing and financial strength all matter more than the headline rent.
Property selection
Location, plot, layout, room sizes, parking and access. What makes a property genuinely suitable for supported living.
Due diligence
Survey, independent valuation, title, planning, lease review and operator checks, and who should carry out each one.
Key risks
Operator failure, void periods, changes in commissioning, maintenance liability, resale considerations and movements in property value.
