Colliers completed the sale of the portfolio alongside restructuring and legal advisers. The properties were sold with 600 fractional leases removed, with proceeds used to support recoveries for creditors and investors.
Strategic context
The sale follows Colliers' disposal of St Mary's care home in Manchester in 2024, the first asset sold from the former Qualia portfolio. The current transaction demonstrates how resolving fragmented room‑lease interests can enable the sale of distressed operational properties.
For buyers, a clear ownership structure and continuity of care are as important as the underlying property valuation.
