What are healthcare trade-related valuations?
Healthcare businesses, such as GP surgeries, dental practices, care homes and private clinics, are specialist properties that derive much of their value from their operational performance rather than just their physical assets. Trade-related valuations assess both the tangible property elements and the trading potential to determine the true market value of these businesses.
Our RICS-certified valuers use the profits method approach, considering factors such as patient lists, revenue streams and operational efficiency alongside the property's physical characteristics. This comprehensive assessment ensures lending institutions, buyers and sellers have reliable data for informed decision-making.
When do you need trade-related valuations for healthcare businesses?
Healthcare trade-related valuations are required in several critical situations:
Medical practice acquisitions and sales
When purchasing or selling GP surgeries, dental practices or specialist clinics, all parties benefit from accurate valuations that reflect the business's trading performance alongside its property value. This ensures fair negotiations and realistic pricing based on the practice's patient base, revenue potential and operational capabilities.
Secured lending and refinancing
Banks and lending institutions require detailed healthcare trade-related valuations when making secured borrowing decisions for medical facilities. Our comprehensive reports provide lenders with the confidence needed to make informed decisions about loan amounts and terms.
Partnership changes and disputes
Medical partnerships often require accurate valuations during restructuring, when partners join or leave the practice and during dispute resolution. Our independent, professional assessments help ensure fair outcomes for all parties involved.
"Healthcare businesses require specialist valuation expertise that goes beyond traditional property assessment. Our approach combines a deep understanding of medical practice operations with rigorous financial analysis to deliver valuations that accurately reflect both current performance and future potential."
