How we can help you
We deal with all aspects of business rates and will work with you to reduce your liability by reviewing your current assessment and recommending an appropriate strategy to both reduce the liability moving forward as well as recovering any overpaid business rates. We do this by negotiating with the Valuation Office Agency and liaising with the local billing authority. We can also actively manage your property portfolio to ensure all applicable rates reliefs are obtained. Our objective is to save you money.
How we do it
We are a team of surveyors operating across the UK who are fully compliant with RICS Rating Consultancy Code of Practice. Whether you are an occupier paying business rates on property you use, or an owner with empty property on which you are paying rates, then we are on hand to help and advise you on the best route to take to save money and set up accurate payments and budgets.
