Is your London GP practice receiving a fair Notional Rent?

London Notional Rent Review

Notional Rent Review – London GP Practices

GP Surveyors have identified a wide range of GP practices across London that require a different method of valuation to that adopted by the NHS (District Valuer). As it stands your surgery may not be receiving a fair current market rent from NHS England, resulting in your practice being substantially underfunded. GP Surveyors have already successfully applied this valuation method on behalf of practices in London, achieving Notional Rent review increases as high as 32% above the District Valuers proposed figure.

How do GP Surveyors check your Notional Rent?

Once GP Surveyors have been instructed by your practice, you will be allocated a dedicated Client Manager and
RICS Chartered Surveyor who will manage the entire Notional Rent review process for you.

Your surveyor will:

  • Visit your practice to conduct a full survey of your premises.
  • Check your practice’s latest Notional Rent figures against our extensive database of comparable evidence.
  • Produce their valuation of your practices Notional Rent, based on their findings and our evidence.
  • Either – inform you that your surgery is receiving the correct level of Notional Rent and there will be no fee to pay.
  • Or – inform you that we have sufficient evidence to challenge the District Valuers’ (DVs) opinion of your valuation.
  • Contact NHS England (District Valuer Service) on your behalf, to challenge your Notional Rent.
  • Negotiate with the District Valuer until a satisfactory outcome is achieved for your practice.

Our team will then ensure the agreed increase in Notional Rent is promptly processed and paid by NHS England.

    Why GP Surveyors?

    GP Surveyors have been providing practices with our range of specialist primary care property services for 25 years. We undertake around 300 Notional Rent Reviews a year and therefore hold the most up-to-date comparable evidence. This means we are the best-placed surveyors to secure your practice an increase in Notional Rent.

    Our Chartered Surveyors are all highly experienced primary care specialist valuers, with unrivalled knowledge of the GMS Premises Cost Directions. You will also benefit from our established relationships with the relevant local NHS / ICB staff and District Valuers.

    We operate a success-based fee structure, where our fee is calculated from the increase generated from the challenge. No increase equals no fee. Your rental increase will be backdated to your initial review date and will be paid in a lump sum by the NHS. GP Surveyors will only ask for our fee once the practice is in receipt of the increase from NHS England.

    Notional Rent – The Facts
    • Notional Rent should be reviewed every three years, normally by the District Valuer on behalf of NHS England.
    • Your practice’s initial Notional Rent figure is the DVs opinion of value.
    • GP Contractors have 3 years to dispute their Notional Rent, providing the practice has not accepted the figures in writing.
    • No matter what the outcome of a practice’s previous Notional Rent review, they can still check their latest figure.
    • Any Notional Rent increases are backdated to the surgeries rent review date, as stated on the practices CMR6 form, and any backdated rent is paid in a lump sum.
    • Any increase in Notional Rent will enhance the capital value of the surgery.
    • If a practice’s Notional Rent review is overdue, they should contact the NHS, who are obliged to issue the practices CMR1 forms, for them to complete to instigate the review.
