Carter Lemon Camerons property team advise on the granting and taking of leases of primary healthcare facilities.  With a particular expertise in the way that GPs are funded, and the need for operating leases for NHS bodies, our team of solicitors know the issues that face many healthcare providers when entering into property transactions.

In addition to primary healthcare property, the law firm acts for hospitals with shopping concourses in two major hospital sites. Acting for landlords has been a large part of the firm's work, on which it has built a high reputation in advising on the negotiation of leases and dealing with landlord and tenant issues in the commercial world.

Knowing the risk of your responsibilities when taking a lease can be vital, for example, knowing who is liable for the clearing of contaminants, or compliance with statutes requiring upgrading to the premises to comply with access requirements and environmental law. Healthcare property leases need to address these issues, as well as complying with the Estate code.

The healthcare property team provide timely advice on licences for healthcare providers to avoid problems in the future development of buildings when claims for security of tenure may arise, at the same time as providing for flexible arrangements for healthcare providers to share accommodation.
