Rates Mitigation

We continuously monitor our clients’ portfolios and actively seek to reduce liabilities beyond the usual appeals process, as well as tracking portfolio changes to maintain accurate levels of assessment. Our aim is to ensure that all changes are swiftly identified and reflected in our clients’ liability. We work to ensure that new incentives, legislation and case law are correctly interpreted and applied by councils and the Valuation Office Agency.

Rating Appeals

Our Check Challenge Appeal strategies are agreed with each client and carefully timed to present the strongest tactical case for minimising rates liabilities. We prioritise those properties most adversely affected by a revaluation and keenly identify additional opportunities. We always work for the correct result, not the quickest.

Rates Management

Rates Management is a fundamental part of our service, offering accurate forecasting and budgeting for our clients. Our account managers work together with our surveyors to identify savings opportunities and remit money swiftly in line with KPIs.
