NON DOMESTIC RATES

All non domestic property in England & Wales is, as a general rule, subject to business rates. Business rates are a significant overhead of occupiers and the rules and law behind rating is complex and often difficult to understand.

I have a wealth of knowledge and experience having advised on rating law since 1994. I proactively pursue issues ensuring a resolution is achieved as quickly as possible and in the most cost effective way.

I advise on rating issues concerning:-

• Disputes concerning Valuation
• Material Changes of Circumstances
• Exemptions & Reliefs
• Rating List Errors
• Empty Property
• Billing Errors

Typically I advise specialist rating surveyors and their clients, acting as advocate in Local Valuation Tribunals, The Lands Tribunal and Magistrates Courts throughout England & Wales.

My client base includes:-

• Local Authorities
• Motor Manufacturers
• High Street Retailers
• Supermarkets
• Individual Businesses
• Charities
