Sale and Leaseback solution helps Surgery to expand

Project Situation; New extension to form 4-Dr surgery to replace outgrown and in adequate existing building (197 m²) with growing patient list

Project brief; To extend and redevelop existing building housing 4 Doctors with growing list size

Project Solution; The Practice owned their existing single storey surgery and one of the senior partners wished to retire and sell her share in the building. Ashley House stepped in with a sale and leaseback solution, agreeing the necessary price and corresponding rent with the District Valuer, thereafter bringing a design solution to expand on site 3-fold

Points of interest; A phased solution was required allowing the Doctors to continue to practice from their existing building whilst the new 2-storey extension was built. Thereafter, the move had to be staggered, firstly into the new extension and finally into the reconfigured building once the redevelopment and refurbishment of the existing surgery had been completed. No temporary buildings needed to be used, affording significant savings to the NHS
