Braid Hills Nursing Home in Edinburgh, which ceased trading in July 2024, has been sold to Crown Care Group.
Previously owned by Bupa Care Homes and once registered to care for up to 119 residents, the former nursing home occupies a detached two-storey 1990s purpose-built property in the Liberton suburb of Edinburgh.
Following a sales process with Martin Daw at Christie & Co, the home has been sold to Crown Care Group, which plans to redevelop the site, turning the home into a state-of-the-art, future-proof facility.
Michael Ladhar, owner of Crown Care Group, said: “Being based in Newcastle, we have long considered the Scottish market as a logical direction for our growth. We see that there is an under-provision of best-in-class care homes against a backdrop of growing demand, and this particular home allows us the opportunity to redevelop the site to put our unique stamp on it in its established scenic setting. We develop and operate our care homes for the long term, and we look forward to developing this site to match, if not surpass, our previous developments. We look forward to this being the first of a number of care developments in Scotland. We are still at the design stage but home to have our scheme finalised in the coming months.”
Martin Daw, senior director at Christie & Co, commented: “It was great to see that a closed 90’s build care home site will be transformed into a brand-new care facility over the coming years. It’s also encouraging to see such an experienced operator with a reputation for delivering high-quality care provision entering the Scottish market, and we look forward to seeing them grow in the years ahead.”
