Specialist property adviser Christie + Co has expanded its south west healthcare team with the appointment of Simon Harvey as part of the specialist team.
Simon has over ten years experience in the sale of businesses in the region and is a Director of the company. Simon joins the established team of Rob Kinsman and John Crocker and together they have over 60 years’ property experience, the majority of it within the healthcare sector.
Commenting on the team growth, Rob Kinsman, Regional Director of Christie + Co in the South West says: “We are delighted to grow our commitment to the healthcare sector in the south west. In 2012, Christie + Co was responsible for over 63 per cent of all reported healthcare transactions and the appointment of Simon will ensure we maintain this growth whilst continuing to offer the very highest level of service to our clients.
“We unquestionably have the most experienced and dedicated healthcare team in the region. Simon’s appointment will not only provide a boost to the regional team but also to our clients, whatever their future plans.”
Kinsman adds: “Whilst market conditions remain rather challenging, we continue to experience strong appetite from quality, experienced operators who are keen to expand their portfolios. We regularly generate competitive bidding in our sales processes which demonstrates the underlying confidence in the market. This is supported by the vast majority of the banks who continue to have an appetite to lend into the sector, given its strong demographic profile and relative stability.”
