Doctors and dentists, in particular, often practice from shared premises, and there may be circumstances where vesting property interests in a special purpose vehicle (SPV), such as a limited company or limited liability partnership, may help avoid disputes in the future. It is sensible to take legal advice on a corporate and property level and to consider any tax implications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speak to property litigator <a
