A C’Estimate is an indicative market value for a care home. It is produced by a proprietary model built on the relevant public record: recorded property sales, the regulators’ registers, and land-registry ownership. It is not a valuation and does not replace one: a care home is trade-related property, and its worth depends on occupancy, fee rates and payer mix.

The model is proprietary. Every figure is drawn from care home sales actually recorded and applied to the characteristics of each home — its type, its size and where it is. The figure is for the care home as a going concern with its freehold — what such homes fetch when they are sold — never for the company that runs it.

Tested against recorded sales, the figure is unbiased — it runs neither high nor low on average — and lands within a third of the price about half the time. It is a scale, not a valuation: what separates two homes of the same size on the same street is their trading, which no public register holds.

A range is shown only when at least eight comparable sales support it and their spread is tight enough to inform. With fewer sales, or a spread too wide to mean anything, only the figure is published — a wide interval would say nothing, and an artificially narrow one would suggest a precision the data does not support.

This home’s. Every figure on C’Estimate is for the individual care home as a going concern with its freehold, not for the operating company, so each home in a group has its own page and its own figure.

No. C’Estimate publishes no trading figures, on the page or on request. Only the estimated value is shown.

Yes, by confirming that you own the home or are authorised to act for its owner. What you send is never displayed on C’Estimate — it is used to update your C’Estimate and may be integrated into the professional information services of Corryk, the publisher, which are available to its professional clients.

No. Every care home in England and Wales has a page, regardless of its owner’s intentions. A page implies no plan to sell.

The estimated value and information that is already public: the address, the type of home and what it is registered for, who holds the freehold according to the land register, and its catchment. Anything you send when confirming your home is never displayed.

Yes. Every request for correction or removal sent to reception@corryk.com is reviewed and acted on.
