Residential, Specialised Supported Housing & Specialist Healthcare

The United Kingdom residential sector relies heavily upon an ageing stock. This also applies to affordable housing and properties designated for registered care or supported housing use. Green Bull Partners delivers new-build and professionally refurbished properties, which draw on up-to-date technology and are fit for purpose for the next generation. Our projects include a combination of affordable housing and supported housing, with a focus on specialised supported housing (SSH). The company also provides transaction consultancy services within these sectors, partnering with third party owners.
Green Bull Partners collaborates closely with care providers and registered providers to develop and deliver SSH accommodation. We can work to your specification, reflecting the needs of individual service users and, where appropriate, build in assistive technology. Fundamentally, we value social responsibility. We will structure our developments as efficiently as possible, always recognising the long-term needs of underlying occupiers, operators and registered providers.
Advances in medical care and changes in approach to social and medical care provision mean that there will be an increasing demand for properties designated for supported living for the foreseeable future. In particular, the NHS’s Transforming Care Programme is driving greater demand for community-based residential settings. Research commissioned by Mencap / Housing LIN (published April 2018) projects an increase in demand for SSH units from 22,000-30,000 beds in 2017/2018 to 30,000-37,000 beds in 2027/2028.

Hospitality Consultancy Services

Green Bull Partners provides transaction consultancy services within the hospitality sector. Green Bull Partners does not own hotel assets, but the partners have an owner’s mindset and adopt a commercial approach to the appraisal of new opportunities and to potential disposals.


The quantitative analysis undertaken by the partners is rigorous and any corresponding recommendations have clear rationale. The partners are cognisant that, being operationally leveraged businesses, small changes in forecasted operating assumptions can have material implications for financial viability. Together with owners, the partners focus in detail on key operating assumptions and metrics. The partners have extensive experience in development and transaction roles, which enables them to offer a thorough consultancy service including:
  • detailed financial appraisal of target hotels (either on an asset basis or corporate basis), including P&L and cashflow analysis
  • due diligence, oversight and transaction management, including collaboration with other specialist advisors such as lawyers and tax accountants
  • identification and appraisal of potential acquisition and development opportunities
  • commercial oversight of the negotiation of management contracts, franchise agreements, leases, agreements for lease, joint venture agreements and sale & purchase agreements
  • financing and re-financing
  • resolution of distressed situations
In real estate terms, we believe a strong overlap exists between residential care and hospitality accommodation. Both relate to operational businesses where real estate is core to service delivery. We leverage our experience of these sectors to enhance our offer.
