The dental market in Bath
The defining feature of buying or selling in Bath is the property. So much of the city is listed Georgian stock in conservation areas that premises consents, alteration restrictions and high leasehold values regularly shape a deal. NHS commissioning sits with Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICB, but with many lists skewing private, goodwill here is typically driven by the private book and brand rather than UDA targets. Buyers tend to be individuals and smaller groups chasing a quality private practice rather than volume NHS income. A specialist will value that correctly and handle the listed premises issues early so they do not stall completion.

“Listed Georgian premises could have derailed everything. The specialist they found dealt with the consents early, so completion was never in doubt.”
