Businesses face the biggest Rateable Value changes for decades in 2017 and, more than ever before, the responsibility for checking and challenging the new rates lies with the ratepayer.
Draft revaluations were published in the autumn and appeals can be lodged from April. The last revaluation was based on 2008 property values and Yorkshire’s property market has changed significantly since then. The new rates are expected to reflect those changes with big shifts in business rates.
Harrogate property specialist FSS has more than 20 years of experience in the Yorkshire property market and as the region’s biggest commercial rental specialist we are well placed to check and challenge revaluations on your behalf.
Why you should check your draft Rateable Value now
- This is the first rates revaluation since 2010, when rates were based on 2008 values.
- The economy has changed drastically since 2008 and the impact of revaluation is likely to be significant.
- There will be greater responsibility on ratepayers to check the accuracy of information used to value their property.
- It will be harder to appeal your Rateable Value if you haven’t checked your revaluation.
