In this episode, we’re joined by Julian Muldoon of 1Group Property Advisory, a specialist in helping doctors and practice owners navigate one of the biggest business decisions they’ll ever face - choosing the right location and property strategy for their private practice.

Julian explains the key considerations when deciding whether to buy or lease, from competitor analysis and demographic research to council regulations, parking, and permitted use requirements. He highlights the risks of rushing into a property purchase, the advantages of strategic leasing, and why due diligence is critical before signing contracts or bidding at auction.

We also explore how the healthcare property landscape has changed, with larger practices requiring more space, higher fit-out costs, and longer leases—making every decision more complex and higher stakes. Julian shares insights into national trends, site selection challenges, and how practices can secure locations that support both growth and long-term financial security.

Whether you’re starting a clinic, expanding into a new site, or weighing up buy vs lease, Julian’s advice will help you make smarter property decisions for the future of your practice.
