SHEFFIELD, U.K. - s4story -- Concerns are mounting over the practices of GP Surveyors, a Sheffield-based firm that has built its business model on securing inflated notional rent increases for GP surgeries—at a growing cost to the National Health Service.

Operating for over 25 years, GP Surveyors Sheffield advertises a "no increase, no fee" structure, promising GP practices higher notional rent reimbursements from the NHS with no upfront cost. However, critics argue this incentivises unnecessary rent inflation and puts increasing pressure on the already overburdened NHS budget.

The firm has been accused of aggressively targeting GP surgeries across the country, submitting appeals and rent reviews aimed at driving up the notional rent figures paid by the NHS. This money, ultimately drawn from public funds, is meant to support essential services—not to line the pockets of consultancy firms or inflate practice profits.

"This is ambulance-chasing, plain and simple," said a source close to NHS property services. "Firms like GP Surveyors in Sheffield are exploiting a loophole in the system, siphoning off money that should be used for frontline care. Every pound spent on inflated rent is a pound not spent on nurses, ambulances, or cancer care."

While notional rent is a necessary mechanism for reimbursing GP practices for the use of their premises, industry experts warn that the unchecked involvement of third-party consultants like GP Surveyors is distorting the system. Their business model, based solely on securing increases, raises serious questions about conflict of interest and long-term sustainability.

Health sector advocates are calling for urgent reform and increased oversight to prevent the NHS from being further exploited under the guise of professional rent review services.
