Medical finance

GP, dental and medical practice finance

Medical practice finance is one of the strongest commercial lending niches — sector-specialist lenders with genuine appetite for GP, dental and veterinary practices. Pricing and LTV both reflect the strong risk profile.

Audience: Medical practice owners
Situation: Medical practice lending is a distinct market — different lender panel, different underwriting, different pricing.
Primary: Commercial Loans

The situation

Standard commercial lenders often underprice or overprice medical property because they don't underwrite the sector. Specialist medical lenders assess NHS contract income, private mix, patient list value and premises together.

How we approach it

We work with medical practice specialist lenders directly. Practice buy-ins, expansion capex, premises purchase and refurbishment all covered — and often at LTVs and rates that mainstream lenders can't approach.

What that looks like in practice

  • Practice buy-in / partner finance
  • Medical premises purchase up to 100% LTV in some cases
  • Expansion capex and refurbishment finance
  • Goodwill lending against practice value
  • Refinance from mainstream commercial to specialist medical

Common questions

Can I really borrow 100% for medical premises?

Some specialist lenders do — for GPs with NHS contracts especially. Not universal but genuinely available for the right profile.

How is goodwill funded?

Cashflow-based term loan against practice earnings, usually amortised over 10-15 years. Specialist medical lenders price this properly.

Dental vs GP — different lenders?

Some overlap, some distinct. NHS-heavy GP is one profile; predominantly private dental is another. We match to the right specialist.
