The Process
Submit your details above. A specialist reviews your property's rateable value against comparable properties — at no cost to you.
If there's a case, our RICS-regulated specialists manage the entire Check, Challenge, Appeal process with the VOA on your behalf.
A successful challenge reduces your rateable value — lowering your bill going forward and potentially generating a backdated refund.
Common Questions
Business rates (also called non-domestic rates) are a tax on commercial properties in England, Scotland and Wales. They are calculated by multiplying your property's rateable value — set by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) — by the government's multiplier. For 2026/27, the small business multiplier is 43.2p and the standard multiplier is 48.0p. If your rateable value is incorrect, you could be overpaying significantly.
Yes. Under the Check, Challenge, Appeal (CCA) system, any business can formally challenge their rateable value. You must first submit a "Check" to the VOA, then a "Challenge" if you disagree with their decision, and finally an "Appeal" to an independent tribunal. The 2026 revaluation means many businesses now have fresh grounds to challenge their assessment.
Savings vary significantly depending on your property type, location, and how far your current rateable value is from market evidence. Our clients save anywhere from a few hundred pounds to over £50,000 per year. The best way to find out is a free check — it takes less than 2 minutes.
It means you pay nothing unless your business rates are successfully reduced. Our specialist partners only charge a percentage of the savings achieved — typically for one year's worth of the reduction. There are no upfront fees, no hidden charges, and no risk to you.
The Valuation Office Agency revalued all commercial properties in England and Wales on 1 April 2026, updating rateable values to reflect the property market as of April 2024. At the same time, the government introduced a new five-multiplier system. Businesses in areas where rents rose may face higher bills despite lower multipliers — making it a good time to review your assessment.
The Check stage is typically completed within 12 months. If you proceed to a Challenge, this can take a further 12–18 months. Many cases are resolved through negotiation with the VOA before reaching a formal Appeal. Our specialists manage the entire timeline on your behalf.
Business rates apply across England, Scotland and Wales, though Scotland operates a slightly different system. We currently focus on England and Wales. If your property is in Scotland, get in touch and we will advise whether we can help or point you in the right direction.
