WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...

  • “Aitchison Raffety provided an excellent service and appraisal of the market value of my surgery. They took time to explain everything to me and the incoming partner regarding the valuation, and in doing so negotiated a very good settlement. I would not hesitate to recommend Aitchison Raffety in their professionalism and negotiating skills in a very niche area of buying and selling NHS surgeries without factoring in goodwill to the sale which is not allowed under the NHS rules.”

  • “Aitchison Raffety has been providing advice to Rothschild House Group for 15 years for property valuations, advice on rental levels and NHS reimbursement through to acting as our surveyor on building projects. We have always found them excellent to work with and their advice invaluable.”

  • “Aitchison Raffety has supported us for over twenty years with valuation work, rent reviews and premises development. Their team have always been professional, reliable and clear in their communications. We know that their opinions, which have been of great value to us, have the authority of those at the top of their game.”

  • “We were very pleased with the service we received from Aitchison Raffety when we needed advice and a valuation for our GP surgery. All communications were timely and we were very impressed with their knowledge of the specialist market and her professionalism.”

  • “Our experience dealing with Aitchison Raffety was a positive one. Communication was easily exchanged and we found the service to be stress free and efficient. All employees dealt with were professional and polite and we would recommend their services.”

  • … I have bought a property through Aitchison Raffety and from the beginning to the end the process was flawless. It is evident that Dave’s knowledge and expertise in the GP field is vast when it comes to rent and lease matters, but his communication and interpersonal skills are exemplary.  I’ve had a great experience and great credit goes to Dave and Caz for this, they are a great asset to your firm. I will recommend my family and friends towards your firm, and I will definitely be using your services again, such as for rent reviews and lease agreements in the near future.

The proposed reimbursement from NHS England is key to the practice sustainability. The offer you receive is almost always negotiable. We build a strong case to the district valuers for your notional/current market value review and act for you in appeals, to secure an equitable deal.
