Sellers
Staff hear things. Commissioners hear things. Families hear things. A badly handled sale can damage a service long before contracts are exchanged, so we start with confidentiality and work outwards from there.
Most owners we speak to are not ready to sell on the day they first call. They want to know what it is worth, what would need tidying up, and how long it would take. That conversation is free and it does not start a process.
Complete discretion and without judgement.
What you have, why you are thinking about it, and what a good outcome looks like for you, your staff and the people you support. Nothing is written down anywhere until you say so.
What the market is likely to pay, what is dragging it down, and whether waiting six months while something is fixed would earn you more than selling today.
Compliance clean up, accounts presentation, contract and lease tidying, manager position. Buyers discount uncertainty far more than they discount a known issue.
You read and approve the exact anonymised description before a single buyer sees it. If you want no public description at all, that is a valid choice and a common one.
We go to the register first. Every buyer signs a non disclosure agreement and is checked for funding and regulatory suitability before your name is released.
Heads of terms, diligence, and the regulatory transfer. Sales fall over at registration more often than at price, so we manage that end deliberately.
Most of these are fixable. Whether they are worth fixing before you sell is a maths question and we will do the maths with you.
Not from us. Nothing identifying you goes to any buyer until you have approved it and the buyer has signed a non disclosure agreement.
No. Many owners never appear publicly at all. We can work entirely from the buyer register if that is what you want.
It depends on profit quality, property, ratings, funder mix and manager stability. We will give you a reasoned range rather than a flattering number.
Yes, and we do. It needs a buyer with the appetite and the capability, and honest disclosure. Hiding it costs more than admitting it.
From instruction to completion is usually several months, and the regulatory transfer is often the longest single element. We will give you a realistic timetable at the start.
Tell us where you are and we will tell you what your options look like.
