Knight Frank – Healthcare Development Opportunities, 2025

The main theme of the report is the analysis of the current state and future development opportunities of the healthcare sector in the United Kingdom, with a focus on the provision of care home places.

Key findings include that the UK healthcare market continues to attract interest due to factors such as an aging population, stable income, and consistent yields. Over the last decade, the supply of care home places has increased by only 2.9%, while the population over 65 has grown by approximately 20.7%. There is a trend towards deregistering old and small facilities, which are being replaced by new, larger, purpose-built homes. Regionally, the East and West Midlands have attracted the most new places despite an overall lack of construction.
