Warlingham Green Medical Practice, Surrey

BW Healthcare Surveyors achieve a 6.8% increase in Notional Rent reimbursement for Warlingham Green Medical Practice part of SWC Medical Group in Surrey.

Approach

Our specialist primary care team helped Warlingham Green Medical Practice appeal against their Notional Rent assessment. We undertook a free initial assessment followed by a detailed survey and inspection of the surgery before instigating a challenge to the Notional Rent on behalf of the practice.

Through the course of professional and constructive discussions with the District Valuer, we were able to successfully negotiate an increase in reimbursement in the following key areas;

• Increased the unit rate (£ per sqm) applied to approved reimbursable space
• Increased the car parking rate (£ per space) of spaces eligible for reimbursement

Conclusion

Our professional representation resulted in a 6.8% increase in notional rent reimbursement for the practice and the case was resolved in just over 5 months from the date the practice sent over their Notional Rent assessment, to reaching a settlement with the Health Board Valuer.

Julie Rhead, Group Manager at Warlingham Green Medical Practice was extremely happy with the outcome;

The service was professional and painless. We are very pleased with the result and are currently undergoing a similar assessment at another of our surgeries.

The increase that we achieved not only boosted the surgery’s annual income but is also highly likely to have increased the investment value of the premises.
