There is a complex series of procedures for dealing with rates and it is essential that all appropriate steps are properly adhered to.
Drawing on our vast experience and bank of information, Power Property can quickly advise whether or not the Valuation Office’s assessment on your property is fair and whether it is worth appealing.

Reducing Business Overheads

Challenging a Commercial Rates Valuation
When instructed to, Power Property will appeal a valuation on your behalf and endeavour to reduce your annual rates bill. The burden of rates is carried entirely by the commercial sector and is a now serious overhead in any business such that any opportunity to make savings must be pursued.
Our experience and access to extensive property information allows us to assess the circumstances of a commercial rates valuation and determine whether there may be grounds for an appeal.
New Properties & Material Changes
