Complex Sale of Former Care Home Site Completed by HPC

This challenging project demonstrates the benefit of our experience in the sector and commitment to getting the job done.

“As this demonstrates, HPC is so much more than an average agent and acts as a valuable partner to clients with care home properties across the UK.”

Ian Wilkie, HPC

Cornerways in Harrogate was the last care home owned by a long-standing client of HPC. The smallest in their portfolio, it gradually became unviable and was closed in 2016. What followed was convoluted, but our involvement essentially encompassed:

· Working closely with the planning consultant, HPC evidenced thorough market intelligence over 12 months, helping to achieve planning permission for change of use, demolition and the construction of 5 houses.

· With timing of the pandemic being a factor, co-ordinating with builders, contractors and planning consultants to ensure a material start was made on site and the planning permission thus protected

· Running a tender process and co-ordinating with demolition contractors to clear the site when the building became problematic

· Simultaneously exploring the market and negotiating the sale of the site to a regional developer.

HPC Director Ian Wilkie, who oversaw the project, said "As this demonstrates, HPC is so much more than an average agent and acts as a valuable partner to clients with care home properties across the UK. We would like to congratulate purchaser Amberstone Developments for this, the second sale to them that we have worked on."
