"During our long association with Paul, we have utilised his skills and tapped into his vast contacts network on more than one occasion. He has previously sold two care homes on our behalf and we are now seeking to expand our portfolio with his able assistance.

In all our dealings with Paul, we have found him to be completely honest, reliable and tenacious and we would recommend anybody seeking to confidentially dispose of their care business to contact him."

"I have known Paul Burford for many years so when I came to sell our nursing home in Chinnor, Oxfordshire, my choice of agent was straightforward. In fact I did not consider it necessary to seek the views of another agent or valuer, which I acknowledge might be unusual.

Together with Paul we agreed a valuation range and set targets for both the price to be achieved and the timescale. The outcome was exactly as I anticipated. The sale was made off-market and without the prior knowledge of the staff and residents, thereby avoiding any damaging and unnecessary destabilisation of the business.

The price exceeded our most optimistic prediction. I would not hesitate to commend Paul to anyone contemplating a sale, certainly we would never use anyone else."
