Business Rates Advice

Professional advice to commercial property owners, landlords and business occupiers who believe they may be paying too much in business rates.

Business Rates Advice & Rating Appeals

At Kingsly Surveyors, we provide professional advice to commercial property owners, landlords and business occupiers who believe they may be paying too much in business rates. We assist clients throughout London, Essex and Hertfordshire by reviewing their current Rateable Value and, where appropriate, preparing and submitting challenges to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).

Business rates are calculated using the property’s Rateable Value, which is determined by the Valuation Office Agency. However, the Rateable Value may not always accurately reflect the property’s size, use or market circumstances. If an assessment is incorrect, it could result in businesses paying more than they should.

A Detailed Review of Your Property’s Current Rating Assessment

Our service begins with a detailed review of your property’s current rating assessment. We compare the assessment with similar commercial properties, examine the property’s size, layout, condition and permitted use, and consider whether the existing Rateable Value appears fair. Where we believe the assessment is inaccurate, we will advise you on the likelihood of a successful challenge.

If appropriate, we will prepare and submit a formal challenge to the Valuation Office Agency on your behalf and manage the process through to its conclusion. We liaise directly with the VOA, prepare supporting evidence and negotiate where necessary to achieve the most accurate assessment possible. Throughout the process, we keep our clients informed and provide straightforward advice on the progress of their case.

Whether you occupy a shop, office, warehouse, industrial unit, restaurant or other commercial premises, we can help you understand your business rates liability and determine whether there are grounds for challenging your assessment.

Why Choose Kingsly Surveyors?

We understand that business rates represent a significant ongoing cost for many businesses. Our aim is to ensure that our clients are paying the correct amount and not more than they should.
