Mark White writes for The Carer on the evolving landscape of healthcare real estate
Just over a month into the new Labour leadership, it is increasingly evident that investment in real estate is a key focus of the government’s agenda. The change of government has encouraged an atmosphere of optimism across the property sector, which is expected to stimulate further investment in the UK real estate market.
One area for investment to pay attention to is healthcare. This resilient industry offers robust demand levels amid a growing and ageing population, alongside attractive investment fundamentals such as long lease terms and stable returns. This is promising for potential investors, as noted by a recent CBRE UK Healthcare Sentiment Survey, which revealed that 62% of healthcare investors intend to increase their allocation to the sector over the next five years.
As a Labour government implements its policies, in an article for The Carer, Mark White, Real Estate Partner, outlines the key areas that investors and developers should monitor as potential areas for growth across the healthcare sector. From planning reform to operator costs, those looking to invest in healthcare real estate should be aware of opportunities and challenges.
In the article he covers:
- Unlocking development in planning reform
- Confidence boost from the Treasury
- Employment reforms could incur higher costs
- Embracing new partnerships
