Representing Veterinary Professionals in Selling or Leasing Veterinary Real Estate
No two medical real estate deals are the same, and veterinary facility owners are well aware of the complexities involved in owning their buildings. Moreover, the veterinary field requires a set of facility features and structural requirements different from other sectors.
When it comes to selling or leasing a facility, practice owners should consult with an attorney who is skilled in medical real estate and the unique needs of veterinarians. At Mahan Law, we will leverage our experience and resources to guide you through the real estate transaction and work to protect your interests.
We regularly collaborate with veterinary brokers and medical property appraisers who can help to arrive at a proper valuation of the practice and facility. Our attorneys will handle all aspects of the negotiations and always work in your best interests. Above all, we are committed to helping you engage in a successful and seamless veterinary practice transition.
Attorney for Selling Veterinary Real Estate
Owners of a veterinary practice who decide to sell the practice may also consider including the facility or real estate in the transaction. In this scenario, the seller can pay off any remaining debt on the property and invest the remaining proceeds.
If the buyer is not interested in purchasing the property, the owner can market and sell the facility to another investor. In any event, before marketing the property, it is wise to upgrade some of its features to improve the property value.
Ultimately, an experienced veterinary attorney can draw up the necessary legal documents (e.g. commitment, purchase, and sales agreements) and help to close the deal quickly and efficiently. Trust the team at Mahan Law to guide you through this transition and the successful sale of your veterinary property.
When to Lease a Veterinary Facility
If you intend to hold onto the real estate, then leasing the property is a wise choice. Although being a landlord poses challenges, the rental income from the property can provide another income stream for your retirement. Moreover, it is possible to hire a property manager to handle the day-to-day tenant and property needs.
In any event, as with a sale, before leasing a veterinary facility, upgrades are in order, all of which fall under the banner of tenant improvements and are usually paid for by the landlord.
Given that medical tenants tend to stay longer than other commercial tenants, owners will have access to consistent cash flow over time. Let our veterinary attorneys negotiate and prepare the lease and help you and the new practice owner preserve your legacy in the veterinary space.
