Business Rates

 
Business rates are perhaps the most feared and generally the most misunderstood of all taxes on UK property. Our rating surveyors are professionally qualified to fully investigate all possible rates scenarios.
 
We negotiate with both the Valuation Office Agency and local billing authorities to mitigate the impact caused by this significant property outgoing. We also check, authorise and pay clients’ rates bills and carry out a full rates audit of past liabilities, recovering principal overpayments, interest and tax certificates.
 
We advise a large variety of clients including major PLCs with national property portfolios, local authorities and small individual businesses.
 
We have wide-ranging experience in a number of areas including:
  • The motor trade
  • Prestige city offices, industrial and retail complexes
  • Major printing works and glassworks
  • Television and film studios
  • Banks
  • Call centres
  • Independent schools and colleges
  • Leisure and licensed properties
  • Utilities
Business rating advice is highly cost effective and more often than not, our professional fees on appeals are fully met from the cash savings achieved. No upfront charges are made before advice is given and we also provide non-contigency fee advice at fixed rates where the client so requires.
