Montane Care is delighted to confirm the successful sale of Comberton Nursing Home, a well-established and highly regarded care facility in Stourbridge. This transaction formed part of a wider, simultaneous multi-site sale coordinated on behalf of Mr Jay Patel of Astley Care Ltd, as he worked towards a carefully planned and well-executed transaction. The successful completion of this sale reflects both the enduring strength of the care market and Montane Care’s expertise in delivering seamless, strategic transactions.
Comberton Nursing Home has long been a cornerstone of the local community, providing high-quality nursing and residential care for elderly residents with a wide range of needs. Under the experienced ownership of Astley Care Ltd, the home has earned a reputation for its compassionate approach, committed staff, and consistently high standards of compliance. These qualities, combined with its trusted standing in the local area, made Comberton an especially attractive acquisition opportunity for the right buyer.
The home has now been purchased by Mr Imran Mian, an expanding care operator in the local area. Mr Mian approached the process with great commitment, clarity, and an appreciation for the responsibility that comes with operating a care home of this calibre. He acknowledged that acquiring a care business can be complex and challenging, but credited Montane Care with making the experience straightforward and well-structured. Mr Mian expressed his gratitude for the team’s guidance and expertise, stating that their clear communication, market insight, and calm approach provided reassurance throughout the process and gave him the confidence to move forward decisively.
Reflecting on the sale, Mr Jay Patel once again entrusted Montane Care with overseeing the process, having previously worked with us on another successful transaction. He commented on the professionalism and strategic approach that defined the handling of the sale, highlighting the way the team proactively managed communication and coordination across all parties. Mr Patel described the transaction as smooth, efficient, and well-managed from start to finish, noting that Montane Care’s attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the process progressed as planned.
The transaction was supported by experienced legal teams who played a vital role in facilitating a timely and successful outcome. Mr Patel was advised by Mr Kareem Baig and Mr Andrew Stilton of Newhall Solicitors. Mr Stilton commented: “The time that you spent towards the end, in helping to drive the transaction forward, was extremely beneficial.” His feedback underlines the value Montane Care brings in the later stages of a transaction, ensuring momentum is maintained and any potential obstacles are quickly resolved. Acting for Mr Mian was Mr Jas Singh of Pickford Solicitors, who also commended the clear communication and structured approach that supported a seamless completion.
This sale represents a growing trend within the care sector, where established operators are choosing to exit the market with strategic support, while newer operators and entrants bring fresh energy and ambition to the industry. The successful transfer of Comberton Nursing Home demonstrates that with the right guidance, operators can confidently navigate the complexities of care home acquisition and take over a business that is both operationally sound and positioned for future success.
