Business Rates in the News

Business Rates are in the news again – in the south west there are many winners as well as some businesses that will pay more, in some cases, much more. Media reports miss the point though – surprisingly, there are many new Rateable Values that are way off the mark but the new rules make it very difficult and slow to appeal. We only use RICS and IRRV valuers to assist our clients – watch out for the cowboy rating ‘experts’!
