Dental practice valuation
Valuations that survive scrutiny from a buyer, a bank, or HMRC. We value dental practices regularly and know how UDA performance, associate retention, and freehold status move the number.
What a specialist actually does.
- 01Full written valuation report for sale, purchase, or bank finance
- 02Goodwill calculation with NHS/private revenue split analysis
- 03EBITDA normalisation and market-multiple benchmarking
- 04Sensitivity analysis against associate retention and UDA rate risks
- 05Informal valuations for partnership restructuring or divorce proceedings
- 06Advice on pre-sale preparation to maximise the number (12–18 month horizon)
Who this is for.
- Practice owners considering a sale in the next 1–3 years
- Dentists buying a practice and needing an independent second opinion
- Partners restructuring equity or exiting a partnership
- Executors of a deceased dentist's estate needing probate valuation
- Dentists raising commercial finance secured on goodwill
How pricing works.
We quote valuation work per engagement, typically as a fixed fee depending on practice size and turnaround. A straightforward single-surgery valuation lands in a different range from a multi-site sale preparation. Send us a short enquiry and we come back within 48 hours with a fixed written quote and no obligation, so you'll know the fee before any work starts.
We don't publish fake "£X/month" tables. We quote the work directly, and you see the fixed written fee before any work starts.
About practice valuation.
How long does a dental practice valuation take?+
For a simple single-surgery practice with clean recent accounts, we can produce a written report in roughly 2–4 weeks from receiving your financial information. More complex cases — mixed NHS/private, multi-site, partnership splits — take longer. If you are mid-sale, we can often prioritise.
What do you actually need from me to start?+
Three years of practice accounts, a UDA contract summary if NHS, an associate payment schedule, fixed-asset register, and details of the premises (freehold or lease with terms). We send a full checklist once you enquire.
Will the valuation hold up to a buyer's accountant?+
Yes — a valuation we write from current market data is defensible. Buyers often have their own accountant challenge the number; our report anticipates the common challenges (normalising owner's remuneration, adjusting for undermarket associate rates, stress-testing UDA recovery) so the discussion is productive rather than a back-and-forth.
What is a dental practice typically worth in Harrow right now?+
We avoid quoting a multiplier on a website because it does more harm than good — the right number depends on your revenue mix, associate structure, lease terms, and the current appetite of corporates and independents in your specific postcode. Harrow sits in a contested catchment; we benchmark your practice against recent comparable sales, not a generic UK average.
Can I get an informal estimate before commissioning a full report?+
Yes. We can give you a rough range informally once we've seen your P&L, which is useful for deciding whether to proceed to a formal valuation. That conversation carries no commitment.
