What could you miss before buying or leasing a care property? Explore fire safety, due diligence and new connections in Birmingham.

The property looks right. The numbers look promising. But what could you be missing?

A fire risk assessment that fails to stand up to scrutiny. A service with a worrying inspection history. A property purchase that needs more investigation before you commit.

Join Care Property Hub in Birmingham for an evening of practical insights and in-person networking, exploring the questions landlords, investors and care providers should ask before making their next move.

Dan Quinn | Managing Director, Fire Scene Group

Fire Risk Assessments: What the Law Requires, and Where Care Property Operators Get Caught Out
