Hg Capital's acquisition of Casa Reha
Christie + Co is proud to have formed part of Hg Capital’s advisory team in what was the largest and most important transaction in the German care market in 2007. Our task was to provide property due diligence including detailed benchmarking analysis of the portfolio and a review of the development programme. Another key part of our brief was the provision of detailed advice on the complex lease structures in place and their potential impact upon the cash flow of the business. Christie + Co’s input was instrumental in Hg Capital’s successful acquisition of the business, with it ultimately being addressed to the Royal Bank of Scotland plc, who provided the funding. Christie + Co are approved Panel Valuers to the Royal Bank of Scotland plc.
