Questions

When should I get a lawyer involved?

Before you agree terms with a buyer. Getting the lease and paperwork ready early avoids delays.

Do I need the landlord's consent?

Usually yes. Most leases need the landlord's consent to transfer, and the landlord may ask for information about the buyer.

What happens to my personal guarantee on the lease?

It depends on the lease. Ask for a release when the lease transfers, and get advice on whether you remain liable.

Can you help sell a health practice?

Yes. Patient records, practitioner arrangements and equipment need special attention.
