Services
Business Rates Appeals
We specialise in challenging business rate assessments through formal appeal processes. Our chartered surveyors leverage deep understanding of valuation law and negotiation tactics to dispute inflated rateable values. With former Assessor's Office personnel on our team, we identify weaknesses in official valuations and present compelling evidence to secure reductions.
Revaluation Challenges
Our experts monitor revaluation cycles and prepare strategic challenges to ensure fair property assessments. We analyse market data, comparable properties, and legal precedents to build robust cases for reduced rateable values during Scotland's triennial revaluation process.
Rateable Value Assessments
We conduct comprehensive evaluations of commercial property values against current market conditions. Our RICS-registered valuers use statutory guidelines and comparative analysis to identify discrepancies between official assessments and actual market worth.
Tax Liability Reduction
Our targeted approach identifies opportunities to reduce business rates through multiple channels including appeals, reliefs, and revaluation challenges. We focus on delivering measurable financial benefits through documented savings on annual rates bills.
Valuation Negotiations
We engage directly with assessing authorities to negotiate fair rateable values. Our team combines technical expertise in valuation law with practical negotiation skills to achieve reductions without recourse to formal appeal processes where possible.

Questions
What are business rates and how are they calculated?
Business rates (National Non-Domestic Rates) are property taxes set by government and collected by local authorities. Calculations use Rateable Value multiplied by poundage rate.
How can you help reduce my business rates liability?
We analyse your property valuation, identify over-assessments, and negotiate with assessing authorities to secure reductions through appeals and revaluation challenges.
What areas do you cover for business rates advice?
We specialise in Scottish properties, working with businesses across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and all Scottish local authority areas.
Are you qualified to provide business rates advice?
Yes, we're RICS-registered chartered surveyors with former Assessor's Office experience and professional indemnity insurance for valuation work.
What is the business rates revaluation process?
Revaluation occurs every three years in Scotland, resetting rateable values based on market assessments. We help challenge inaccurate valuations during this process.
