Following MIPIM 2026, we have pulled together our latest insights across the UK and European markets into our latest report.
Carterwood sponsored this year’s healthcare workshop, leading a panel discussion and hosting country-specific table talks. One thing was clear: there is still strong confidence in the sector. But the focus of the conversation has shifted.
“What stood out most was the level of optimism in the room, particularly given the wider geopolitical backdrop. It’s clear healthcare remains a resillient, long-term play for capital.”
Tom Hartley, Managing Director, Carterwood
Looking at markets across Europe, it was clear the conversation has shifted to be less about market conditions and more about what is actually driving performance underneath.
Driving growth in healthcare real estate
Across the UK and Europe, healthcare real estate trends are coming through clearly:
- Private fee growth of c.8–10% supporting recovery in the UK
- Increasing focus on pricing, product and operational delivery
- Strong investor interest in Spain, supported by demographics and pricing flexibility
- A clear view that future returns will come from execution, not just market momentum
In a number of cases, performance looks strong on the surface, but the underlying drivers tell a more complex story.
We have summarised our key takeaways in our latest bulletin.
