Business Rates
Refurbishment/ Redevelopment Schemes
Many properties currently remain liable for business rates when they are undergoing significant refurbishment/redevelopment. In many instances this liability could be removed temporarily during the period of the refurbishment or permanently in the case of a redevelopment.
How we save you money • S ubmitting our case to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) through the Check, Challenge, Appeal (CCA) process and achieving deletions of rating assessments at the earliest possible opportunity once a redevelopment scheme has been initiated • Utilising the CCA process to achieve temporary reductions to a nominal value for the period of a scheme of refurbishment works applying recent case law to ensure that the reduction is for the maximum possible period • For refurbishment schemes of less than 3 months applying to the local authority for empty rates relief during the period of the works
