Clients benefit from our director's unique experience in both public sector healthcare property and private practice management.
Notional Rent Review
We negotiate enhanced notional rent reimbursements for NHS premises through expert understanding of valuation methodologies and Premises Directions. Our track record shows proven increases, as demonstrated by cases where annual rent rose from 25,000 to 45,000 through strategic representation during review processes for GP practices nationwide.

Our experience spans initial rent setting, service charge apportionments, and lease renewals, ensuring agreements balance commercial viability with NHS operational needs while maintaining value for money principles.
