Assisted living finance in the Greater London

Created in 1965 and made up of 32 boroughs plus the City of London, Greater London is England's most populous ceremonial county with around 9.1 million residents. We arrange the full range of assisted living finance across the Greater London, from the acquisition finance and commercial mortgages that buy and hold a trading care home or a lease-backed supported living asset, to the bridging, development, mezzanine and equity behind a build, a conversion or a repositioning. Care and supported-housing market data is published nationally by Knight Frank, CBRE and the ONS, so the figures above are presented as clearly-labelled benchmarks, while the housing-transaction figure is genuinely local Land Registry data for the towns we track.

London carries the highest care fees and land values in the UK, which makes new care home and extra care development expensive to deliver but supports the strongest capital values once a scheme is trading. Average UK care home fees reached £1,298 per week in 2025 on the Knight Frank Care Homes Trading Performance Review, and London sits well above that. For supported living investors the capital combines the deepest pool of local-authority and registered-provider demand with the tightest supply of accessible housing, so well-structured lease-backed schemes are keenly bid. Lenders treat prime London care assets as among the most institutionally liquid in the sector.

On capital values, a modern, well-occupied purpose-built care home trades at an indicative £100,000 to £150,000 per bed on a going-concern basis (Knight Frank / care market commentary, 2025), with older and converted stock materially lower, while supported living is valued off the lease to the registered provider at yields around around 5 to 6% (Knight Frank UK Living Sectors Yield Guide / market commentary, 2025). Around around £12bn of UK healthcare property is forecast to transact in 2025 (Knight Frank, UK Healthcare, 2025 forecast), with investment into the wider UK Living sector reaching £3.2bn in a single quarter (CBRE UK Living, Q3 2025).
