Business Rates

No stone left unturned

Our three services - appeals - payments - audits - ensure that all avenues to reduce a company’s business rates liability are pursued. 

Appeals - Our highly skilled appeals team focuses on reducing rateable values.  Recognised as one of the UK’s leading firms of Business Rates advisors, we are retained by many of the country’s best-known companies.  Specialists within the team sit on the RICS Rating and Local Taxation Policy Panel and The Rating Surveyors Association Retail Panel.

Clients include:  Primark, BHS, Wilkinsons, Burtons, Regis International, Top Shop, Ansbacher, Aviva, Catlin UK, Derwent London, Travelodge, Twentieth Century Fox.

Payments – Our specialist rates management and payment service enables a company to outsource this function.  This not only removes this administrative burden but also ensures that only correctly calculated bills are paid and that all refunds, reliefs and exemptions are claimed and secured. 

Rates Recovery - With councils performing over 20 million business rates related tasks every year, it’s easy to see the enormous potential for billing errors.  Our audit specialists have the technical expertise and intimate knowledge of the rating system necessary to check whether demands are correct and to challenge any inaccuracies.
