What it takes to start a practice: find a premises

Arguably, this is the toughest hurdle for most people who are thinking of starting a new practice (or even relocating an old one). Car parking is a must, visibility is always nice, the rest is down to your confidence in your builder (we have a great builder who I will introduce you to soon)

We looked at a number of sites around Whitchurch and Nantwich where I have worked for the last 20yrs and there was very little suitable. And then we found this.... 

Oooh, you like that don't you, I can tell. Yes, it's ugly, it's huge and it's available - only one of those applies to me.
This site was a originally a methodist's chapel (see picture below):

Time has not been kind to this building (and neither by the looks of things were the people who turned it into a green and yellow monstrosity). However, we have big dreams for it and a landlord who was willing to go along with them.
Next hurdle.... planning. Holy smokes, now that has been a hurdle!
