Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of Anderson Dentistry in Aberfeldy, Perth and Kinross.

Founded in 2008 by husband-and-wife team, Morag and Ross Anderson, Anderson Dentistry is a three-surgery, predominantly private practice with over 2,100 patients. It occupies a modern, attractive property on Bank Street in the beautiful village of Aberfeldy, about 30 miles from Perth.

After 17 years of ownership, Morag and Ross decided to sell to step back from practice ownership. Following a confidential sales process with Kevin Strain and Joel Mannix at Christie & Co, Anderson Dentistry has been purchased by husband-and-wife team, Chris and Iona Cairns. This is their first practice purchase.

Morag and Ross Anderson, former owners, said: “Since its creation in 2008, developing Anderson Dentistry into a boutique private practice has been an incredible journey. Growth came by downsizing from four surgeries in a tired commercial let, to three surgeries in a building we bought and renovated from the bricks up, with a focus on quality, not quantity.

“It has been a privilege to care for our patients, working alongside the most dedicated and professional team. After 32 years as clinicians, it’s time to pass the baton to a younger husband-and-wife team, and we couldn’t have found a better couple than Chris and Iona Cairns. They share our ethics, values, and commitment to excellent care. We look forward to seeing the practice continue to thrive and grow in their good hands.”

Chris and Iona Cairns, the new owners of Anderson Dentistry, said: “We were attracted to Anderson Dentistry because of its excellent reputation and the strong relationships the team has built within the community. Morag and Ross have created a practice that patients clearly value and trust, and that was very important to us.

“Our priority is to continue providing the same friendly, high-quality care that patients are used to, with the support of the experienced team already in place. We’re also looking forward to gradually introducing some small improvements that will enhance the patient experience, while keeping the welcoming atmosphere that makes the practice special. We’re incredibly excited to become part of the community and to care for both existing and new patients for many years to come.”

Kevin Strain, Senior Business Agent – Dental at Christie & Co, said: “Anderson Dentistry stands out as one of the highest quality practices we have had the privilege to sell in recent years. The attention to detail is truly second to none. We are delighted that we’ve found a husband-and-wife team in Chris and Iona, who will uphold the same high standards and carry forward the remarkable legacy that Morag and Ross have built.”
