Riverside Dental Practice in Stirling is on the market with offers above £360,000 sought for the business. The freehold property on Forth Crescent is being offered separately.

Norman Allan joined Riverside Dental Practice as an associate in 1993. He became a partner in 1996 and took sole ownership in 2003.

He is now preparing to retire after 23 years as owner. The practice has been listed with offers above £360,000 sought for the business. The freehold property on Forth Crescent is available separately, according to the Christie & Co listing.

The sales materials give the property an EPC rating of B, while the practice itself is marked with an Energy Rating E.

Christie & Co listing

The business has two surgeries and approximately 5,600 registered patients. Most of its income comes from NHS work.

There is also unused surgery time. Christie & Co says a buyer could increase activity and build up the private side of the practice.

The site has been operating since 1975. Riverside Dental Practice occupies the ground floor of a two-storey property in Stirling's Riverside area, with views over the River Forth.

Christie & Co describes the practice as having stable and profitable income, along with an excellent local reputation. The Herald Scotland reported that Allan's sale forms part of his retirement planning.

The practice is listed at 32 Forth Crescent, Stirling, FK8 1LG. The sales particulars describe a majority NHS business operating across two surgeries with approximately 5,600 registered patients.

The treatment mix includes NHS and private dentistry. Restorative work is done in-house, while specialist procedures such as implants are referred elsewhere.

Kevin Strain, senior business agent, dental at Christie & Co, said a healthy share of revenue comes from NHS dentistry.

The practice could suit a first-time buyer, an independent operator or a smaller group seeking a base in the Stirling market. Two surgeries and an existing patient list offer a ready operating setup.

The capacity is there.

For a buyer, the offer is specific: an established NHS-led patient base, room for more private treatment and a freehold property that can be bought with the business. This is an operating practice, not a start-up that must build demand from zero. Further information is available through the Christie & Co listing.
