Business Rates

Business rates are one of the major expenses for commercial property occupiers, and they can be a significant financial burden, particularly for properties located in central areas or those with large floor spaces. Since the April 2023 revaluation, many businesses are still facing sizable rates bills despite the changes.

In 2017, the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) underwent a major workflow overhaul, making the appeal process more complex and cumbersome for ratepayers. With this in mind, it’s essential to ensure that your rates bill is correctly assessed and to take advantage of any applicable discounts or exemptions available to reduce your liability.

Since 2008, we have been providing expert business rates appraisal and appeal services to over 5,200 property-occupying businesses. Our specialist team has a proven track record of correcting valuations and optimizing available reliefs and exemptions, helping our clients save millions on their business rates bills.
