Lunn Healthcare
Facilities Limited is a specialist Developer of Medical Properties within
the Jack Lunn Group of Companies, who have been established for over 50
years. We are a well-known regional organisation with wide experience
in procurement of projects under diverse arrangements in a variety of
sectors.
We fully
understand the principles of risk transfer and value for money through
current PFI experience. We have created and retain a substantial mixed
property investment portfolio within our Group. We currently own and manage
four complete Medical Centres in the Yorkshire Region with six further
Medical projects at the planning stage. Lunn Healthcare Facilities provide
a long-term investment which is substantially funded by Commercial mortgage
and banking facilities available to the Jack Lunn Group.
The rented
option means that our developer led projects mean little or no financial
responsibility for the tenant. From the start, we produce a detailed financial
appraisal of a project, and we submit this to the District Valuer to negotiate
notional rent. There is no need for our tenants to worry about raising
capital, paying interest or providing funding. We can also help by providing
lease financing advice.
It is clear
that Department of Health guidance favours developer-led schemes where
there is no financial risk to Practices as opposed to the previous trend
of owner-occupied premises with their incumbent risk of negative equity
and financial insecurity. If a partner in the practice leaves or retires,
other partners incur no residual liabilities. Typical leases are for twenty
years with rent reviews at three year intervals to open market value but
not to exceed district values valuation.
Our usual
strategy for undertaking Healthcare projects is as follows:
1. Meet all
development costs and fees relating to the project (including initial
feasibility studies and plans) at no cost to the practice.
2. Take on development and investment risk
3. Obtain Planning and Building Consents
4. Work in partnership with Primary Care Group and Doctors to negotiate
notional rent with District Valuer for the appropriate medical areas (GMS)
5. Negotiate terms with complementary Practitioners and service providers
who may be interested in Leasing accommodation within a Medical Centre
(if appropriate)
6. It is our policy to retain completed medical centres for long term
investment.
