Among the real benefits that Assura Property provides to the primary care sector are the readily available funds for new and improved GPs premises, whilst at the same time enabling GPs to unlock the capital value tied up in their premises in a tax efficient manner.

With today's changing face of general practice, GPs' appetite for owning premises is declining. Working practices are becoming more diverse, graduates are more reluctant to be saddled with property assets, older property-owning GPs want to retire and the profession generally is focusing more on service delivery.

GPs are faced with so many of these issues, in addition to the challenges of the New Contract which has created a need for modern, larger premises so that a wider range of services can be offered to patients.

As ever in general practice, the solutions to these challenges need to be individually tailored and Assura's team of dedicated professionals will work with you to provide on-going solutions which suit your particular needs.

We have a regional network of primary care professionals who will undertake a full review of your existing property arrangements and requirements.

We will:

• Establish your main priorities;

• Agree immediate and future actions with you and your partners;

• Liaise with your practice manager and professional advisors.
