Rating Appeal Service

With over 35 years of experience in commercial property, our team at Morgan Williams are pleased to offer a full range of services for business rates appeals.

We know the cost of property can be high, and we see many clients whose properties are classified under the incorrect rateable value. This leads to a business paying incorrect business rates whilst missing out on commercial savings.

The Rating Appeal Services We Offer

At Morgan Williams, we offer an end-to-end service for any business rates appeal.

We start with a business rates liability assessment to understand your property and the current rating from the valuation office agency (VOA). First and foremost, we want to advise you on whether you should even consider the appeal process. After all, business rates can go up as well as down, and we want to avoid a material change in your current payments.

Following our assessment, we’ll provide a full report of your business rates situation and the factors contributing to your current rateable value. Our team of commercial property experts will then advise on whether you should start an appeal.

Depending on your appeal, it may go as far as a valuation tribunal where you will legally challenge the current rating. In these circumstances, we’ll continue to support and advise you through the process alongside professional legal council.

If your rateable value is deemed incorrect, we’ll then work with you to secure full repayment of any over-payments from your previous property business rate.

Why Appeal Your Commercial Property Business Rates With the Valuation office Agency?

Rate relief is a fundamental tool to help businesses of all sizes maximise their profitability. Unfortunately, we see many business owners paying rates that they shouldn’t be. Often this is down to a lack of information and business owners taking their rating at face value.

Whether you’re approaching the 1st April or are part-way through the business rates year, it’s worth checking your rating to ensure you’re not paying over the odds.

Why Use an Expert to Challenge Your Rateable Value?

Whilst anyone can check the rating list to check their business rates, commercial property experts know all the details of the business rates appeal process. As we’ve warned above, appealing at the wrong time could inadvertently lead to a rate increase!
