Why this site exists
Brokers list practices one page at a time and goodwill surveys report a ratio, not a price. We read 68 named pages on 29 October 2026, 33 of them print an asking price, and the only way to see the spread is to put every one in one table with its source and date.
Who it is for
Dentists and groups planning to buy a UK dental practice who want to know what practices are listed at before they speak to a broker, a lawyer or a lender.

This is a free information site run by Joseph Ellul. When you send a brief, he reads it and replies to you himself; it is not passed to any broker, dental group or firm, and you pay nothing to ask. The site carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links, and no broker in a table has paid to be there. Every asking price is read from the named broker's own public listing on the date shown. Nothing here is tax, legal, regulated or investment advice; check the source before you rely on a row.
