Business rates advice for occupiers
Expert rates advisory for property occupiers.
We offer a full business rates service for occupiers, including rates assessments, mitigation and rebates, lease advisory and occupier valuations.
We advise on office space, industrial and retail premises, and specialist properties like hotels, leisure facilities and museums. Weโll identify any excessive assessments and lodge an appeal with the Valuation Office, with the aim to secure a refund on past payments, and a reduction in rate liability going forward.
We also provide strategies to minimise rate liability if a premises is empty, partially occupied or is adversely affected by external factors such as major building work.
