If you want to remain in your practice but release the capital tied up in your surgery, a sale and leaseback could be the perfect solution.

"Sale and leaseback" is the term used to describe the process of selling your GP surgery to a private investor who then grants an occupational lease back to the doctors who remain in occupation with the rental levels broadly in line with the Notional Rent reimbursement for the premises.

The FHP Healthcare Team ensures that the rental values on a sale and leaseback are equitable and agreed with the District Valuer on behalf of the PCT to ensure there is no shortfall in the funding between the rent due to the Third Party and that received from the PCT to cover the cost of the accommodation.  With this in place FHP Healthcare will identify potential purchasers for the premises at the correct level of value.  In what is still an uncertain market, sale and leaseback opportunities remain very attractive for investors, who recognise the strength of having GPs as tenants with the benefit of Notional Rent funding meaning many view it as a Government backed investment.

Throughout this process we work closely with you, your partners, the PCT and acquiring parties and solicitors to ensure the smooth disposal of the premises and release of equity.
