FAQ

Can Rikvin Capital fund a UK care-home or nursing-home acquisition?

Yes. The case here lent £1.2 million against a £2 million Welsh nursing home (60% loan-to-value) in 10 days. Care-sector assets are a niche area where high-street lenders often decline; we underwrite to the property value and the operator's plan.

How is a care-home valued for lending purposes?

We use specialist healthcare valuers who look at both bricks-and-mortar value and the going-concern value (current occupancy, fee income, regulatory rating). Loan-to-value is typically 50 to 60% on care assets given the operational complexity and specialist sale market.

How quickly can care-home financing be put in place?

10 to 14 working days is realistic for a clean acquisition, as in this Welsh deal. The healthcare valuation typically takes 5 to 7 working days because of the operator-side review. Refinances of existing care assets can move faster.
