THE building where a private health clinic is based sold for £1.2 million this week.

The Harrow Health Care Centre, in Pinner Road, changed hands at auction on Tuesday for £400,000 more than expected.

Dr Ian Chait, a partner at the clinic, said the sale would not affect care as the the company leases the site.

He said: “We are still here. We've always had a lease on the premises. This isn't affecting our operation at all.”

He said the £1.2m price tag was a big reduction from when the building was last sold for £1.9m several years ago.
