The BMI Meriden Hospital, Coventry

The UK property division consists of a corporate team based in London dealing specifically with valuations, rent reviews, rates work, and orchestrates land assembly and planning consents. Additionally the internal project managers undertake, with external design professionals, any new build and most major or complex capital schemes. Responsibility for maintenance and minor refurbishments is devolved to the individual hospitals. The property equity partners, namely London and Regional Properties and Brockton Capital, add a strategic dimension to the portfolio bringing with them extensive experience from the UK and Europe in all aspects of property investments and related business interests.

GHG owns a substantial portfolio of freehold and long leasehold hospital properties. The estate is mainly freehold (known in Scotland as feuhold). GHG operates a portfolio of 48 hospitals with 2 606 registered beds. The portfolio comprises 37 core hospitals with 2 156 beds, eight NHS partnership hospitals with 348 beds and three hospitals operated under a management contract with 136 beds.

There are three long leaseholds, including the jointly leased Three Shires Hospital; seven long-leasehold hospitals and one short-leasehold hospital each on the grounds of a host NHS Acute Care Trust Hospital.

In March 2007 GHG acquired the Harbour hospital property from Poole NHS Trust for £5,3 million.

The main non-hospital properties comprise GHG’s Headquarters (London), the procurement/logistics/IT base (Heston) and two off-site sterile services units.
