Frequently Asked Questions
What is a business rates audit ?
A business rates audit is a detailed review of your property’s current rateable value and assessment. We analyse whether your property has been valued correctly and identify any potential overpayments or errors.
How do I know if I’m overpaying?
Many properties are incorrectly assessed due to outdated data or valuation errors. If your rates seem high compared to similar properties, or your circumstances have changed, there may be an opportunity to reduce your liability.
Is there any upfront cost?
No — we operate on a results focused basis. If there is no opportunity for savings, there is no cost to you.
How long does the process take?
Timescales vary depending on the complexity of the case and the appeals process. Initial reviews can be completed quickly, while formal appeals may take several months to resolve.
What types of properties do you cover?
We work with a wide range of commercial properties including offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial sites, and mixed-use developments across the UK.
