Assura sees rental income surge as independent healthcare fuels growth

Assura has reported a 17% rise in rental income to £167.1m and swung to a £166m pre-tax profit, driven by growth in its independent healthcare portfolio and rising asset valuations. The business, a takeover target of Primary Health Properties (PHP), also saw its investment property value climb to over £3bn, with a £58m gain linked to rent reviews and private hospital assets.

While delays in NHS development approvals persist, Assura sees renewed momentum under the new Labour government’s healthcare agenda, with all active projects currently in Ireland. The company’s focus on sustainable, tech-enabled community health infrastructure continues to position it as a key player in the UK and Irish primary care property market.
