In February 2025, two significant appeals relating to GP premises market rent reviews were successfully upheld in favour of practices. Both cases highlight the importance of understanding and appropriately challenging rent assessments.
In the first case, the appeal addressed discrepancies in valuation methodologies applied to the practice’s premises. NHS Resolution found in favour of the practice, recognising that the initial valuation did not reflect true market conditions.
The second appeal similarly concluded with NHS Resolution agreeing that the initial rent review did not accurately represent the fair market value, again siding with the practice’s valuation.
These cases underline the critical importance for practices to scrutinise rent reviews to ensure they’re accurate and fair. Incorrect rent valuations can significantly impact practice finances, making professional advice invaluable.
