About Us

Led by Vets, Built for the
Veterinary Profession

Vetprop is an established market expert in UK veterinary property, with holdings in the sector for more than 30 years.

We understand the unique nature of this market and recognise its challenges – not just in terms of dealing with the corporate veterinary tenants but keeping on top of the increasing pressure of EPC’s and the rest of the complex regulatory landscape.

The fact is that many vets have become reluctant landlords after selling their business. They often underestimate the pressures involved in managing their old premises with ongoing rent reviews, lease renewals, alterations, insurance claims, dilapidations and repairs.

At Vetprop, we work closely with all the major UK corporate tenants and know exactly how they operate and see their side of the partnership. We also have extensive experience of purchasing from a company, a partnership or a SIPP and understand the added complexities involved.

Whatever the circumstances, Vetprop’s approach is always transparent, professional and tailored to each situation. Our experience gives sellers confidence that their property transaction will be handled smoothly from start to finish. With our extensive knowledge and experience within the veterinary profession, we are in a unique position to take a much more pragmatic view than other buyers when there is an absence of the correct paperwork from the business sale that may have been lost many years ago.
