Description

Acting on the instructions of the Joint Administrators, N Cropper, S Wilson and A O’ Keefe of Zolfo Cooper, Vertere is pleased to announce the sale of a former care home facility in Grimsby.

Vertere is the redevelopment agency division of the national specialist property agent DC Care. The new division was established during 2011 as DC Care recognised that there was not the same requirement for confidentiality when selling a vacant property. Alison Taylor, Regional Business Appraiser commented; “We can increase the exposure given to non-trading care home properties and increase advertising; it’s a slightly different approach than our standard discreet, confidential way of marketing.”

Littlecoates House Care Home in Grimsby was previously registered for 46 residents requiring residential and dementia care. The building provides fully en-suite ground floor accommodation.

Zolfo Cooper instructed Alison Taylor of Vertere / DC Care to market the care facility alongside other trading units within the same Administration. Interest was gained from various parties, and the end purchaser was introduced within 2 weeks of the home being offered to the market.

The care home property has been sold to a private limited company who plan to redevelop the building and re-open it as a home specialising in dementia care for the elderly.

The property was sold for an undisclosed sale price.
