Rating Appeals

The 2017 Rating List  brought in the new system of Check, Challenge and Appeal.  The 2023 Revaluation took effect on 1 April 2023 and is based upon commercial property rental values at 1 April 2021.

Business Rate is a major financial liability in the running of a business. It is crucial to seek proper advice to reduce the burden, especially if the premises are vacant, and if there have been changes in the market, or location of the premises.

We undertake Checks, Challenges and Appeals for a broad cross-section of clients on a wide range of commercial properties, from public houses, restaurants and caravan parks to shops, offices and industrial premises.

We are happy to undertake an initial assessment with no financial obligation.  We tailor our fees to meet your requirements.

” . . . I found the way of your involvement very professional, the communication smooth and there were no hidden charges.  I’ve had a bad experience previously, when I applied for a business rates relief on another property . . . and I am impressed how different you were.”

Aneta Husejko of The Shawes Arms, London Road, Preston.
