Sterling’s healthcare funding division find funding solutions for your GP Surgery Development projects

You are in a specialist market so use a specialist broker who understands your sector. With access to major banks to specialist niche healthcare lenders, we know the types of deals that are synonymous with this sector.

Our team of healthcare specialists have, over many years, put together finance packages for GP’s / Doctors to:-

  • Build new GP Surgeries where one or more practices are coming together in a locality to enable them to provide additional and more cost effective services.
  • Extension of current practices to provide additional space to accommodate growth and anticipated future growth in patient numbers.
  • Upgrade of current surgery premises.

Each project will have its own particular challenges and maybe the larger developments more than most. Not least because not all the doctors will have the same requirements, financial or otherwise (some may be nearing retirement others just joining their first practice).

Development finance – always a challenge as the whole development process can be a long process with many potential pitfalls not least planning permission and getting NHS England and CQC agreement to both the need for new medical centre and notional rent. Not unusual for doctors to be gifted land under section 106 and or get grants such as the former ETTF grants – in these cases notional rent is usually abated for a term.  To make the deal viable pharmacies are encouraged to take space and pay rent to the doctors and rooms may be let out to local CQC and medical consultants or in the larger development a private hospital make take space. Funding considerations will primarily be notional and pharmacy rent plus any other long term guaranteed rent with a good covenant eg 10/15 year lease or longer

Refinance – an increasing number of lenders welcome applications for freehold premises funding. Notional rent is a particularly important figure when assessing GP surgery finance
