Medical Property/Converting property for Consulting Rooms_Project Planning

We are regularly asked what is involved in the conversion of a house to medical consulting rooms. At the end of the day, converting a residential property used to be quite simple but it is worth asking a few questions that will help marry the property plans with the practice/growth plans. These questions can centre on:

1. Rent vs buy, and what to buy.
2. Planning and design of the new rooms – do you convert or new build.
3. Consulting your neighbours and paving the way for a planning approval.
4. Financing the project.
5. The Building process.
6. Sharing the space/rooms, finding other tenants.
7. Moving in and finally managing the property and practice.

On the project planning side (medical and other) we follow a process and a few steps. We have set this out on a one page summary so that it can give you a snapshot of taking your property through the conversion process.
