Independent Finance Brokers, Christie Finance, has announced the completion of Ridgeway Nursing Home located in Derbyshire.

Lawrence Roberts, Regional Director at Christie Finance comments, “I am pleased that I was able to find a competitive funding package for Mr Bailey, especially in the current lender market. Mr Bailey’s experience and knowledge of the sector coupled with our experience with lenders in this sector, generated a positive outcome for all. I have no doubt that Mr Bailey will make this home a success and will go on to purchase more, providing outstanding care for service users.”

Dave Bailey at Ridgeway Nursing Home, comments, “After 20 years’ experience in the sector as a care Provider and co-owner of a small group of homes, my personal circumstances took a change of direction.  This nursing home met all my requirements, and I spoke with Lawrence and his team to start the process of securing finance. There were a few hurdles along the way that we had to negotiate, but Lawrence and I spoke on a regular basis, and he always kept me up to date with progress.  There were some days when I doubted I would achieve my goal, but Lawrence worked tirelessly and gave me confidence that this would materialise.  In the end, he helped broker me a very good deal with a lender that ensured the acquisition could go ahead and duly complete as expected.

I am delighted with the home I purchased and hope to improve things further in the coming months as I identify our strengths and any areas of development.  I also plan to introduce electronic care planning and improve medication management in the near term, as these measures will greatly enhance service quality.

In the future, I aim to expand my portfolio in and around the Midlands and ideally within the Nursing sector.  I will be keeping in touch with Lawrence, and if new opportunities arise within the next year, I will definitely be running things by him I would thoroughly recommend Christie Finance for anyone looking to enter the market as a first-time buyer, or like me, an experienced operator who needed to finance his first lone acquisition.”
