With my husband Ewen Campbell, I have worked at Eustace & Partners since 1988.  During that time we had raised two children and developed a successful business that we remain very proud of.

We had received numerous unsolicited private approaches to buy the dental practice.  However, we decided at an early stage that we wanted to appoint a dental broker who we truly believed we could trust, who understood us, who understand the dynamics of our business, who could take the practice to the entire market and negotiate through to completion on our behalf.

After completing our own due diligence, we appointed Lily Head Dental Practice Sales simply because Lily and James Head came closest to meeting our criteria.

We had an outstanding level of interest when the practice went to market.  This is obviously a good problem to have and meant that Lily and James had the job of qualifying the buyers and presenting the various options and proposals.

Lily did this concisely which made it simpler for us to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each offer.  We had a mix of private and corporate interest.  The thing that stood out to me immediately was a high street brand had offered us 35% more than they had done previously, now the sale was being managed by Lily Head Dental Practice Sales.  Even so, we felt their revised offer was based on what they felt they might have to pay, and not on what they wanted to pay.  We always wanted to work with a willing buyer.

To summarise, Ewen and I sold to Portman Dental Care who were represented by Gary Chapman.  We and our team are very pleased with the new arrangements and are looking forward to working together with Portman.

At completion we were in no doubt that Lily Head Dental Practice Sales was the business we always expected it to be and we have no hesitation in recommending them to any colleagues who are considering selling or buying a dental practice.

Lily Head acted as my agent to sell my large dental practice in 2010. My solicitor that specializes in the dental business advised me to use Lily as “Lily gets things done!” This was certainly good advice and very true! I can certainly recommend Lily to help you sell or buy your dental practice

We contacted Lily having tried to market our large practice with another agent unsuccessfully. Lily is very approachable and efficient. She kept in touch with us and our purchasers throughout the process ensuring there were no problems. We were delighted when our sale completed in June 2014.

At the age of 65 I decided to sell my practice and I was very lucky to have a dental colleague who recommended Lily Head. He has successfully sold his practice using Lily as his agent and could not have spoken more highly of her. I approached Lily who was very supportive as I was not sure about how to proceed. Lily’s approach was very professional and after we met and the practice was valued it duly went on the market. We had a number of viewings and I am happy to report that a delightful lady bought my practice and I am now working two days a week as an Associate. Selling a practice takes time and Lily was always there to help and support me. I could not speak more highly of her.

I was introduced to Lily by a Dental colleague when I was trying to sell my Private Dental Practice at 90 Harley Street, London. Lily Head Practice Sales did indeed sell the practice for me. On a personal level I found Lily to be approachable, enthusiastic about her work and above all supremely professional. She was a pleasure to deal with, extremely knowledgeable and full of vitality. Lily Head Practice Sales handled the valuation and sale of my dental practice in the most efficient manner. They not only found me a buyer, but several! I was also grateful for their very good connections and recommendations for lawyers, bankers etc which smoothed the whole sale process, and the way everyone co-ordinated and kept in touch. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lily Head Practice Sales to any colleague considering the sale of their dental practice, and already have!

Dear Lily, thank you for your efforts on my behalf. Selling a practice, which one has spent a large amount of one’s professional life is an emotional experience. I appreciated the personal service you gave me and your advice which made our successful sale easier for me. I would be more than happy to recommend you to any of my coleagues who are considering retiring.

Lily Head acted for me in the recent sale of my practice and I have no reservation in giving this recommendation. Lily was one of four agents employed by myself for this sale. The first one took two months to even get me on their website and offered no service and no feedback was ever given on the clients viewing. One never sent anybody, one took £800 for a practice evaluation in November 2010 of which I still wait for. He was always getting around to it. Lily however, took time to talk to myself and find out exactly what type of practice I had and also was able to provide me with details of any potential buyers and ensured that only quality buyers viewed my practice and sieved out any tyre kickers. Her feedback was always very prompt and detailed. When the buyer did decide to proceed she ensured that the Heads of terms were drawn up immediately and checked at all times with myself and the buyer that everything was completed efficiently. Like any sale there were the inevitable hiccups when solicitors are involved. Whenever difficulties were encountered I only had to phone lily and she phoned all the relevant parties to get things moving again. At all stages Lily has acted with integrity and absolute professionalism and ensured that she knew each party involved and acted in the interests of the sale at all times. She was a delight to work with and instilled confidence in both parties at all times. She showed an interest in the sale which was missing from the other agents as they seemed only interested in a fee and it was a pleasure to deal with Lily as an agent and I which her every success with her agency and would strongly recommend her to any future seller.

We were very impressed with Lily Head when she visited our Dental Practice. Lily was professional and gave us plenty of her time to discus our Dental Practice and requirements in depth in order to understand the best ways to market it.

All our dealings with Lily and her office subsequently were handled in a very satisfactory way.
