Legals handled with care in £4.5m property deals

LAW firm Lupton Fawcett Denison Till has completed the purchase of two care homes in Nottinghamshire on behalf of separate clients with a combined purchase price of £4.5m.

The firm’s Sheffield office acted on behalf of Barnsley-based Strong Life Care in the purchase of the entire share capital of Hallmark Care Homes (Tuxford).

Located on the outskirts of Nottingham, Tuxford Manor is a purpose built care home which can accommodate 45 residents in single occupancy rooms.

Hallmark sold the care home as it is concentrating the expansion of its specialist dementia care in the south of England and Tuxford Manor falls outside its core geographical target area.

In addition, the Sheffield office acted on behalf of Whitwell Park on behalf of the Westwick Group, which has its head office in Chesterfield.

Located in the village of Whitwell, in Derbyshire, the modern purpose-built care home provides personal care for five residents and nursing care for 35 residents with learning disabilities.

Corporate finance lawyer at Lupton Fawcett Denison Till, Max Kennedy, who is recognised as an expert in healthcare by the Legal 500, completed the deals on behalf of his clients.

Kennedy said: “Having personally been involved with around sixty sales over the last decade I have witnessed many changes in the care home market.

“The demand for high quality, purpose built care homes providing residents with top quality care is on the increase and there will be a growing need for ones like Tuxford Manor and Whitwell Park.”

David Palmer of Morgan La Roche solicitors, in Swansea, acted on behalf of Hallmark Care Homes with Lisa Wallis of Taylor and Emmett Solicitors, in Sheffield, representing the vendors of Whitwell Park.
