Since the early 1980s, the practice has served the local community with high-quality, routine dentistry, as well as more specialised treatments including Implants, Orthodontics and Endodontics.

The practice was previously owned by Dr Debbie Ganguli who decided to sell to pursue other interests and spend more time with family.

Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of Kincardine Dental Practice in Fife. Funding for the sale was sourced through Christie Finance.

Kincardine Dental Practice is a two surgery, mixed-income dental practice located in the small, traditional village of Kincardine on the north shore of the Firth of Forth in Fife, Scotland. The village has a population of approximately 2,830 people and, as there are no other practices in the village, Kincardine Dental Practice enjoys a dedicated and consistent patient base.

The business’s previous owner/Principle, Mrs Alison Hughes, joined the practice as an Associate in 1990 and later purchased the site in 1996. After over 30 years in the business, Mrs Hughes decided to sell to pursue a well-earned retirement.

She comments, “After purchasing the practice in May 1996, I refitted the reception area, re equipped the main surgery and subsequently fitted a second surgery, a dedicated Decontamination Room, and a computerised Practice Management System. This allowed the practice to grow, to take on an Associate, and to see more patients.

“I decided to sell the business and retire after 38 years of dentistry as I want to have new adventures with my husband whilst we still can! Joel at Christie & Co found a non-corporate buyer for the practice who I believe will continue to develop and grow the practice whilst maintaining its unique, friendly position within the community.”

Kincardine Dental Practice has been purchased by experienced dentist, Mr Charles Parsons. Having previously owned practices in both the UK and South Africa, Mr Parsons was keen to acquire a small dental practice in Scotland and views Kincardine Dental Practice as an ideal fit for him.

Joel Mannix, Business Agent at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, comments, “I couldn’t be happier with how this deal panned out. After several viewings in late 2019/early 2020 we were delayed by the pandemic but, amid the disruption, I introduced Dr Parsons who is a perfect fit for the practice, sharing a lot of the ethos that Dr Hughes has as well his willingness to engage with the community as the only dentist in the village. I wish Alison all the best in retirement and Charles the best in his future endeavours.”

Craig Dickson at Christie Finance, comments, “Charles is an experienced dentist well versed in all aspects of general dentistry and has only recently returned to the UK after living in South Africa for a number of years. I introduced the deal to a number of lenders with three offers received, which shows the benefit of using a specialist commercial broker! I wish him the very best moving forward.”

Kincardine Dental Practice was sold at an undisclosed price.

Steve O’Connor, Business Agent at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, comments, “I’m delighted that the sale of Portland Dental Practice has now completed.

Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of Ciao Paolo Dental Practice in Glasgow.

Ciao Paolo is a three-surgery, mixed income dental practice with approximately 2,500 registered patients. The practice is well established and offers significant scope for further potential including longer opening hours and the introduction of additional specialist treatments.

The practice is located on Crow Road in Jordanhill, an affluent area of the West End of Glasgow, just three and a half miles from the city centre. The area has excellent transport links and will benefit from nearby housing development plans.

The business has been run successfully by previous owner, Principal, Dr Paul Trevisan, since 2011 after it was established from squat. He decided to sell as he was looking for an exit strategy from practice ownership but wanted the flexibility to continue working post-sale.

Ciao Paolo Dental Practice has been purchased by Dr Radhika Baireddy, who plans to increase the services provided at the practice, thereby increasing the overall profitability.

Dr Trevisan comments, “Joel at Christie & Co introduced me to a range of interested parties based on my preferred buyer criteria. I’m very confident the new owner, Radhika Baireddy, is an excellent fit for our appreciative patient base and look forward to continuing to provide care for our patients.”

Dr Baireddy comments, “Being a first-time buyer, I was not sure if buying a practice during a pandemic was a good idea. However, my passion for owning my own practice has encouraged me to buy. I choose Ciao Paolo dental practice as Dr Trevisan was willing to continue working with me post-sale, and I felt he would be an excellent mentor for me for the business of dentistry.”

Joel Mannix, Business Agent at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, comments, “Paul and I began discussing the possibility of a sale a few years ago. We kept in touch and continued to discuss the markets until he felt the time was right to  sell his practice. After a short advertising period, in which we had over 40 enquires, we were able to hone in on a number of capable buyers. Paul was most keen on Radhika’s offer, particularly due to her being a first-time buyer, as it allowed him to hand over the reins of his practice but enabled him to work on to continue treating the patient base he had built over a decade. I’d like to wish Radhika all the very best with her first dental practice which I’m sure, with Paul’s expertise, will be a great success.”

Ciao Paolo Dental Practice was sold off an asking price of £385,000.
