Rating and Taxation

What we do

We reduce occupational costs through:

  • Targeted appeals advice 
  • Generating savings from vacant and under-utilised space
  • Securing temporary allowances following changes to the property and locality
  • Rates auditing and recovery
  • Rates budgeting and forecasting advice

We also add value for landlords and developers by:

  • Challenging completion notices issued by the Rating Authority
  • Prior agreeing assessments for new buildings
  • Minimising payments through the appeals process

How you benefit

Our local teams think creatively and work tactically to minimise costs for our occupier clients and maximise value for our landlord and developer clients.
