PRIMARY CARE


Primary care is the first point of contact for healthcare (which for the majority of us will be a visit to the GP) and in the UK the main primary care provider is the NHS. Therefore, this sector includes hospital sites, GP surgeries, dentists and pharmacies.


As NHS property teams are reviewing their portfolios, there is a need for advice and guidance from the private sector in terms of maximising space and the efficiency of hospital and primary care sites.


Notwithstanding some of the challenges to the market, it has consistently demonstrated resilience and we have seen further yield compression throughout the year, with strong investor appetite for good quality stock underpinned by secure, long-term, stable income streams, reinforcing the attractiveness of the asset class.


In addition to providing consultancy and valuation advice to GP practices and dental surgeries, we carried out a valuation of six neurological rehabilitation units for Christchurch Group in February 2018.


We also provide consultancy advice to the BMI, the UK’s largest private hospital provider. Our work includes consultancy and strategic review in respect to the Competition and Market Authority, incorporating a review of the UK private hospital market and an assessment of operational and start-up costs. In addition, we also provide re-instatement valuations across the entire BMI hospital portfolio and annual inspections of part of the portfolio to assist with management reporting.
