Later living

In the next 25 years it is expected that the number of people in the UK older than 85 will double to over 2.5 million, and yet there is currently a material undersupply of good quality, tailored housing for our growing older population. This presents huge opportunities for growth and innovation in what is an exciting and evolving sector.

Our dedicated Later Living team bring a wealth of specialist knowledge to transactions. We have extensive experience advising a broad range of later living focused clients, from specialist institutional care home funds, to developers and operators. Our work in the sector covers all aspects of the lifecycle of a later living asset, including site acquisition, development and construction, financing, corporate structuring, lettings and disposals.

We are fully immersed in the sector and the ever-changing legislative and market landscape which impacts on later living real estate assets. Our Later Living team includes specialist planning, construction, tax, real estate finance and corporate real estate legal advisers. This means that, whatever the project you are embarking on, we can provide the joined up, comprehensive and commercial advice you need.
