At Aitchison Raffety, our leading team of expert surveyors are committed to helping you manage and minimise your business rates, to ensure you aren’t overpaying. We specialise in properties that are underutilised or undergoing refurbishment, with a proven history in successfully securing relief and exemptions for our clients. Let us help you optimise your property expenses.
Many vacant commercial properties qualify for specific exemptions from business rates. Our team lodges optimal appeals and relief applications to minimise empty rates liability, managing the process directly with the Local Authority for you.
As work patterns change and companies look to consolidate space, or move to a new premises, they often have vacant or underutilised areas. There are various ways to mitigate rates liability for properties which are part empty, and we are experts in advising you on these situations.
There are various ways to negate or reduce your business rates liability during a refurbishment or fit out programme of works, and we are experts on advising on the correct strategy to take.
The business rates paid during a programme of works can be substantial. Our experienced business rates team will review and manage your rates on your behalf to avoid overpayment during these periods, through appeals made to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and/or relief applications to the council.
We advise you act now to avoid missing out, as some exemptions are time critical. Please get in touch for an initial conversation about your circumstances and how we can help.
