In addition to TUPE obligations, you will need to consider whether there are any restrictive covenants on the property and how assets will be transferred. Our legal expertise and experience in the care home sector will help you to navigate all of these challenges, and more, to complete the sale or purchase smoothly.

Before you are able to complete the sale of a care home, the new owner must be registered with the CQC. Even with no complications, this process will take a minimum of 10 weeks so it’s highly advisable to make an application as soon as possible.

In a care home, there are multiple pieces of essential equipment which should be properly maintained and recent proof of maintenance work and checks carried out. The sale can falter in the latter stages if the assets have been poorly maintained and aren’t of an acceptable standard.
