The Premises Costs Directions are under review and after a long wait and numerous delays are expected to be released in summer 2015. It is hoped that the amendments will address some of the inequity surrounding the rent review process and alternative use values in notional rent reviews..
The NHS PS National Lease – further information is, we understand, to be released in summer 2015. Thusfar, a standard lease on the basis that “one size fits all” has been presented. Practices are being advised not to agree or sign any document without first taking advice from a specialist lawyer and surveyor with Landlord and Tenant experience and, just as importantly, GP surgeries and the Premises Costs Directions..
We have recently moved into a new, purpose built surgery after many years of searching for a suitable site. Our next task was trying to find a good, Specialist Surveyor to advise us on all the regulations regarding room layout, size, health and safety etc etc.
Rosemary Jones came highly recommended by another Practice in Hertfordshire and the whole project has been overseen and managed with considerable expertise from start to finish by her and her team.
The firm have been supportive, easily accessible, full of useful information and extremely knowledgeable throughout the programme, dealing with challenging problems with an expertise which has left us with a Surgery to be proud of and ongoing support since completion.
As the project progressed Paul Mayhew was bought in to support Rosemary. They have always been very accessible for advice on the telephone, recommending equipment, lighting, furniture, paint etc etc
Invicta Chartered Surveyors and their team are definitely a firm I would highly recommend to any Doctor’s Surgery contemplating a new surgery development.
They have been worth every penny we have spent, and supported us through what could have been an even more stressful period.
