Impact Healthcare REIT has acquired a pair of care homes in Northern Ireland and one in Scotland for a combined cost of £14.3m.
The properties consist of Springhill nursing care home in Kilmarnock, Scotland and two undisclosed sites in Northern Ireland leased to Electus Healthcare.

Impact paid a net purchase price of £3.25m in a sale and lease back deal with Silverline, with an initial annual rent of £243,000 reflecting a gross yield of 7.5 per cent.
The Northern Ireland care homes located in Belfast and Larne, meanwhile, provide a combined total of 147 ensuite bedrooms.
