WHAT WE DO

RATING:
We specialise in dealing with business rate appeals against the rateable values of commercial properties. We challenge those rateable values and, in many cases achieve refunds of overpaid rates. We also check the rate bills issued by the Local Authority and ensure that they are correctly calculated.

There can be many ways to achieve savings, but it is very important to take professional advice, to ensure that all possible opportunities are explored, and that any application is made in the correct way and at the correct time. We suggest you consider the following questions:

Have the Local Authority correctly identified my property?

Is the rateable value on my property correct?

Has my bill been calculated correctly?

Do I benefit from the transitional relief scheme?

Do the recent alterations I have made affect my rateable value?

Should I pay rates on the parts that are not being used?

Should I be paying rates at all?

Do I get more than one rate demand for one property?

Do the road works/building works nearby affect my property?

Has my trade been affected by the foot and mouth outbreak?

Do I qualify for rural settlement relief?

Would I benefit from a Free Rating Audit?
