Hastings home sold for first time since 1981

Old Hastings House care home in Hastings, East Sussex – originally built in 1700 – has been sold to an established local operator.

Registered for 60 residents, Old Hastings House was once the home of an eighteenth-century mayor of Hastings. The home, which enjoys views across Hastings Old Town, has been owned by The Magdalen and Lasher Charity since 1981. Following a confidential sales process with John Harrison at Christie & Co, Old Hastings House has been sold to Mr and Mrs Thind, who operate The Laurels Nursing Home in Hastings.

John Harrison, director – care at Christie & Co, said: “I am delighted to have sold Old Hastings House for The Magdalen and Lasher Charity following a confidential sales process. We received strong interest, and I am sure that Mr and Mrs Thind will be able to use their considerable experience in the local care market to ensure the strong, well-established reputation Old Hastings House enjoys will continue. This sale shows the good demand we are continuing to see for care homes across the South East.”
