'The cost of occupying a property is probably the largest single overhead facing your business.'

The cost of occupying a property is probably the largest single overhead facing your business. Managing this cost can be complex and time consuming, which is why our aim is very simple: to save you money. Our objective of reducing a client's overall rates payable involves us taking a national and local perspective of the issues and opportunities that ultimately influence appeal outcomes.

Our rating strategy

1. Close working relationship and contact with the Valuation Office with daily progress updates to our database.
2. Scope external and internal factors around a property to identify opportunities for new or additional appeals to be lodged leading to permanent or temporary rate savings.
3. From complexity to simplicity in checking rate demand bills and their calculation, monitoring and triggers of effective dates, refunds, etc.
4. Comprehensive savings reports and updates when required, backed up by personal client account managers

Our Commercial Valuers and Surveyors have appealed over 10,000 cases from the 2005 list that has already resulted in numerous appeal successes with refunds to clients backdated to 1st April 2005.

As current rating legislation restricts ratepayers to only one appeal per compiled list entry, it is imperative to get it right first time. It is crucial to employ a firm with the right level of expertise, who has a large number of clients with successful appeals already in the system, as evidence can be crucial to an outcome from rating appeal negotiations.

Many of the surveyors are former valuation officers (gamekeepers turned poachers).
