Why pay more on your business rates than you need to?

At Cooper Property Services we recognise that business rates can add up to a significant annual cost. We also know that there's no-one better at challenging current valuations and negotiating reductions in rates liabilities than we are.

We can advise clients on the merits of lodging appeals against their current entries by the Valuation Officer in the rating list. We can also help clients to exploit any relief, as permitted by the rating legislation and the operation of the government's complex, transitional arrangements. The new rating list comes into force on April 1, 2005 and the draft is available on-line at www.voa.gov.uk. We can help you make representatives now to the Valuations Officer and start lodging and negotiating appeals both on your existing and proposed rating assessments.

Business rates can make a big difference to profit margins.
