Primary Health Properties (PHP) is a long-term investor in primary healthcare property in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Assets are mainly long-let to GPs and the NHS or the HSE, organisations backed by the UK and Irish governments respectively.

The primary health property market is driven by supportive demographic trends and the need to modernise health provision, rather than the economy. PHP’s leases are long and substantially upward-only, 89% backed directly or indirectly by government bodies. The new UK government is committed to increased investment in primary and community care.

Primary Health Properties’ (PHP’s) Q3 trading update provided details of the continuing organic rental growth that underpins its commitment to progressive dividends. PHP has already declared dividends of 6.9p per share (+3%) for FY24 and we expect further growth in FY25, which would mark 30 years of unbroken dividend growth. An in-depth presentation to analysts and investors (a recording of which is available on the company’s website) focused on the significant opportunities for growth that PHP has identified in both the UK and Irish markets. The company is well placed to help meet the need for investment in both countries where it is economically viable. In this respect, the increasing signs of market rent adjustment are highly encouraging.
