Business Rates Explained

Business rates are a charge on occupiers of non-domestic premises, and the rateable value of a commercial property is calculated as a direct influence of achieved rental values. The rateable value is established by the local Valuation Office, and this liability applies to all commercial business properties. The Uniform Business Rate, which is set by central government and increases in line with inflation, multiplies the rateable value.

Reducing Business Rates

In our experience, many businesses are overcharged for their business rates due to the valuation method used to calculate the rateable value. We have found many examples of businesses being overcharged for their business rates, and we can help you get the best business rates deal for you.

Rent and Lease Renewals

Every successful rent review or lease renewal requires a detailed understanding of the market, relevant legislation, and case law. We have the knowledge and skills to carry out all of the above, to make sure that the best possible rent is achieved for our clients.
