HREF provides £12.5m loan against three properties for care home group




Hilco Real Estate Finance (HREF) has extended a £12.5m loan facility to Abbey Healthcare Group over a 12-month term.

This new loan facilitates continued business investment and a shareholder dividend for the business ownership.

Secured against three care homes — in London, Dover and Cambridgeshire — the extended facility provides additional liquidity and stability while the group explores its options.

HREF has a well-established relationship with Abbey Healthcare Group, having first lent to them in October 2023.


Max Lewis, chief investment officer at HREF, said: “The care sector is a specialist market with unique financing requirements.

“As specialists within this arena, we will always take the time to get under the skin of a deal and welcome the opportunity here to work with a credible borrower with an exemplary track record, a clear exit plan and proven collateral value.

“We hope this significant transaction is seen by the market as a statement of intent for us in a sector that we intend to grow in further as a strategic priority.”
