Business rates form a large part of the occupation costs of non-domestic property.
Time is fast running out to appeal a 2023 Rating List assessment - the last day for appeals is 31st March 2026 and it can take a minimum of 15 working days for a ratepayer to appoint an agent to act through the VOA website.
The 2026 Rating List comes into effect from 1st April 2026. Notional rental values or other valuation information for this Rating List are based upon an antecedent valuation date (AVD) of the 1st April 2024. An appeal through Check/Challenge/Appeal (CCA) against the 2026 Rating List assessment based upon value may be made for three years from 1st April 2026.
Through our locally-based consultant rating surveyor we provide a comprehensive Business Rates service including review, advice, projections, appeals, rate mitigation and Form of Return completion. We have accumulated considerable rental evidence through Mass & Co with which to challenge assessments under the rating list.
We have many years’ experience and a successful track record dealing with rating appeals. For an initial discussion on business rates, please contact Christopher Stewart BSc FRICS
