Barcroft really know what they are doing. Their ability to assess sites quickly but thoroughly, negotiate firmly but fairly with landowners, prepare first-class planning applications, and ultimately secure planning consents sets them apart. A top-class team.

We’ve worked with the Barcroft team for years now and they’re one of our favourite clients. They really know their stuff, both on the care side and on land. They find the right sites in places where there’s a genuine need for more care beds, and they deliver high-quality schemes.

It always feels like we’re working together as one team. They’re easy to talk to, quick to come back to you, and we have a lot of fun along the way, while still being completely professional and getting the job done properly.

They’re a great bunch of people and they do what they say they’ll do. We’d recommend them to anyone.

Avante have collaborated with Andy and the Barcroft team on our brand new, state of the art 70 bed care home at Malling Grange in West Malling which completed in September 2026 after a two year building programme. The project was first conceived in 2020 but experienced numerous planning and funding challenges resulting in the original developers deciding not to proceed.

Barcroft have been great to work with, understanding Avante’s needs and finding ways to work through challenges of which there were several as the scheme progressed, but Barcroft’s positive attitude created solutions and kept the project on track. That was particularly important at Malling Grange because Avante is closing down one of its older homes nearby and relocating all of the residents and staff, so the opinions and desires of those people really mattered so that we could tailor the home to meet their needs.

The Barcroft team have successfully delivered Avante’s newest, most environmentally friendly care home which we are immensely proud of and is testament to what collaborative, partnership working can achieve

Working with Barcroft Estates feels like a real partnership, with open conversations, mutual respect and a shared desire to make each project a success. Their team understands the care sector and the practical realities of construction, which makes a real difference when working through the detail and finding sensible solutions together.

We have really valued their positive, straightforward approach and the commitment they bring to creating quality care homes. They are a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to our continued relationship.

This is an Organisation which is clearly on Top of Its Game. From the outset they were Transparent and Excellent Communicators which made the legal contracts easy. It soon became evident that they employ the Best of the Best advisors. They were never intimidated by what I might nicely call “poor judgements” by the Local Planning Authority. When push came to shove, they backed themselves 100% gaining the planning on Appeal, with the Appeal Decision highlighting just how right they had been in relation to all their submissions. I can not recommend them too highly to others thinking of “partnering” with them.
