Business Rates Advice

What we do

If your property is empty, you shouldn’t be paying full business rates on it!

If your property is empty, you shouldn’t be paying full business rates on it!
Our team of experts can reduce or remove the liability for business rates on a property through a number of compliant schemes.

Temporary occupation schemes

In this scheme, a six-week occupation resets the statutory void period, which can be managed completely by our team or we can advise on self-completion

Removing your building from the rating list

Depending on the building and its condition, it may be possible to do this until your property is reoccupied or redeveloped

Rating advice and appeals for the new 2023 rating list

The new rateable value list took effect on 1 April 2023 and includes many changes from the now-defunct 2017 version. We can help you understand and, if necessary, appeal any changes imposed by the 2023 version
