Opportunities to appeal
There are many different opportunities available to reduce Rateable Value assessments and our team will guide you through the appeal process as they vigorously and professionally pursue each challenge. The process is subject to strict time limits and differs according to whether your property is in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. The appeal process can be a lengthy process, but any savings are backdated.

Where a negotiated and acceptable settlement is not possible, we will present the appeal at Valuation Tribunal, Valuation Appeal Committee, Lands Tribunal or Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber).
