Dental practice is sold to first-time buyers

A large mixed dental practice in Cleckheaton has been sold to local first-time buyers.

The deal for 57 Dental Care was arranged by specialist business property advisor, Christie & Co.

Set in a large, detached property, the well-established practice comprises four surgeries renovated when the previous owners took ownership in 2008. The site is surrounded by spacious grounds, presenting the new owners with opportunity for expansion and redevelopment.

The business has been purchased by Temur Khan, an experienced implantologist and his wife Sanna, marking their first taste of practice ownership.

The couple plan to leverage Temur’s experience with implants and expand the business by introducing an ‘implant hub’ in future.

Jawad Anjum, director at Christie Finance, secured the funds for the couple to acquire the dental practice.

He said: “It was great working with Temur and Sanna. There was an alternative practice that they missed out on, which left them rather disheartened.

“However, 57 Dental then came on the market. As they say, never fret if you miss out on something, as there’s bound to be something better right around the corner, and this literally was around the corner for them.

“I am absolutely delighted they were able to acquire a practice so close to home which ticked all the boxes. I wish them all the success in the future.”

Temur Khan said: “As a first-time buyer, the anxiety of the whole procedure has been immense, but I was glad to have Jawad as my advisor as he was someone whom I could confide in for advice and guidance.

“He was a constant source of support and reassurance, liaising with representatives from the bank and lawyers and constantly kept me up to date with all the progress.”

Jonathan Watson, director at Christie & Co, handled the sale. He said: “This is yet another example of the huge demand for well-located mixed dental practices across Yorkshire.

“The prominent trading position and good local reputation were key drivers in this deal.

“We were able to draw multiple offers in a competitive sales process, from first time buyers to experienced regional operators.”

57 Dental Group was purchased as a single asset freehold from a small dental group.
