Why Vickery Holman?
Healthcare property often requires advice from more than one discipline. A lease renewal may involve valuation evidence, negotiation strategy and future occupation planning. A potential acquisition may require agency, building surveying, valuation and development advice. A portfolio review may raise issues around rent, repairs, rates, compliance and long-term asset performance.
At Vickery Holman, our teams work together to provide joined-up advice across the full property lifecycle. With offices across the South West, we combine local market knowledge with specialist commercial property expertise.

Healthcare FAQs
What is attractive about owning healthcare property?
Healthcare property can provide long-term occupational demand, particularly where the property supports essential local services such as GP surgeries, veterinary practices, care homes or other healthcare provision. However, the value and performance of healthcare property will depend on factors such as lease structure, tenant covenant, location, building condition, operational suitability, rent levels and future alternative use potential. Professional advice is important before acquiring, disposing of or investing in healthcare property.
Is there tax relief in relation to healthcare property?
Tax treatment will depend on the property, ownership structure, use, transaction type and the specific circumstances of the owner or occupier. You should always take specialist tax advice. Vickery Holman can support the property side of the decision-making process, including valuation, market advice, lease terms, occupational costs and property strategy.
When should a healthcare occupier seek property advice?
Healthcare occupiers should seek advice when approaching a rent review, lease renewal, break option, acquisition, disposal, refurbishment, expansion or significant change in property use. Early advice can help you understand your options, manage risk and avoid unnecessary cost.
