At Aitchison Raffety, our experienced surveyors are committed to helping property owners manage and minimise their business rates. We specialise in properties that are vacant, underutilised, or undergoing refurbishment. Our proven track record includes successfully securing empty property business rates relief and exemptions, ensuring you don’t overpay.
Let us help you reduce your business rates liability and ensure you’re aware of all potential savings, reliefs, and exemptions available for your empty or vacant commercial property.
Many vacant or part-vacant properties qualify for specific exemptions from business rates. Our team is skilled in submitting appeals and relief applications to minimise your liability, handling the entire process with the local authority on your behalf.
As working patterns change and businesses consolidate space or move to new premises, properties with empty or underutilised areas are becoming more common. We specialise in advising on the best strategies to mitigate business rates on empty commercial properties and ensure your business is not paying more than necessary.
There are several ways to reduce or negate business rates during periods of fit outs or refurbishments. Our team provides expert advice on the most effective strategies to manage your rates liability, such as making relief applications to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) or applying directly to the council for exemptions.
We review and manage your business rates on your behalf, ensuring you’re not overpaying while the works are being carried out.
If your property is vacant or undergoing refurbishment, it’s crucial to act quickly, as some business rates exemptions are time-sensitive. Our team is here to ensure you take full advantage of all available reliefs.
Contact us today for an initial conversation about your property, and we’ll assess your situation to ensure you’re not overpaying.
