£700k refurbishment of a vacant doctor’s residence

East Shore Partnership GP Practice had outgrown their current premises in the local area, which was cramped and did not meet CQC standards. They required a larger property with more clinical space to meet the growing demand for primary care in the area.

We identified a two-storey freehold property in our portfolio that lay vacant on the St Mary’s Community Healthcare site in Portsmouth. It had previously been a doctor’s residence and was not set up for the delivery of healthcare. We co-ordinated and fully funded the refurbishment which was extensive. The project required both floors to be reconfigured to make space for the installation of a passenger lift and new compliant stair case, an extension to the building in order to provide sufficient space and total refurbishment.

East Shore Partnership now benefits from a variety of modern, compliant consulting rooms and supporting accommodation for the delivery of quality primary care services. Not only has healthcare for the local area improved but we were able to repurpose a vacant space, providing a new home for our customer and saving the NHS money.
