RJS Solicitors advised SP Care Homes Ltd throughout the acquisition of Lyngate Residential Home, a well-established residential care home in Bolton with a strong local reputation for person-centred care. The transaction completed at the end of December 2025 and followed a structured and carefully managed process, reflecting the sensitivities commonly associated with care home transactions.

The RJS team provided legal advice from initial instruction through to completion, working closely with the purchaser and other professional advisers to maintain momentum and ensure a smooth transition of ownership. The matter was led by Robert Bailey, assisted by Rhiannon Appleby. Particular consideration was given to confidentiality, continuity of care, and staff reassurance, all of which were important factors throughout the transaction.

Lyngate Residential Home had been operated by CPM Care and benefitted from consistent leadership, an established staff team, and a strong focus on compliance and governance. These fundamentals contributed to the home’s positive reputation with residents, families, and professionals, and supported its appeal as an acquisition opportunity for an experienced operator.

SP Care Homes Ltd continues to grow a high-quality regional portfolio of care homes, and the acquisition of Lyngate Residential Home aligns with its long-term strategy of investing in well-run, established care services. The successful completion of this transaction highlights RJS Solicitors’ experience in advising on care sector acquisitions and its ability to deliver clear, practical legal advice within defined timeframes.
