Minimising the cost of property outgoings is a high priority for both property occupiers and investors and Business Rates form a significant element of this cost.

Our specialist Rating Team can guide you through the complex system of local taxation and ensure that individual properties and entire portfolios are correctly assessed.

We want to save you time and money. NPS can offer a highly responsive service and a flexible fee basis to accommodate the requirements of our clients.

Our experienced team of Rating Surveyors will:-

• Manage Notices of Return within the statutory time limit
• Work with you to identify properties where material changes may have occurred since the last listing
• Review the proposed rating valuations and lodge appeals
• Provide advice on exemptions and relief
• Identify budget implications and provide estimates
• Represent you at the Valuation Tribunal and Lands Tribunal as required
• Check Rates invoices on your behalf

Rating valuations should always be reviewed in the following circumstances but the list is not exhaustive:-

• Where properties are vacant or part vacant
• Where properties are new to the portfolio
• Where there have been significant value or physical changes in the locality
• Where alterations have taken place to the property or an amendment to the rateable has been made after the original Rating List entry
