In our latest industry-leading podcast, we look at the state of the UK care home market and how the current economic and political landscape is impacting buyers and sellers.
We talk to Christie & Co’s managing director for care Richard Lunn, and head of healthcare consultancy Hannah Haines about trends, transactions and occupancy.
The Care Market Review 2025 special podcast reveals that market activity has picked up and yields continue to stabilise, but investors remain selective about where they put their money. The market is evolving with more M&A and joint ventures between investors and a focus on management contracts.
Moving into 2026, more money is likely to become available for mid-market deals and high-performing care homes.
On the podcast we also discuss how the sector will be impacted by the Labour government's overhaul of the planning system and how high construction costs are fuelling joint venture partnerships.
We also explore geographical trends, how interest from international investors is likely to grow in 2026, the future of purpose-built homes and other factors that will decide the health of the UK care home marketing over the next year.
Podcast hosted by Steve Hemsley and kindly sponsored by Hendrix Training.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
