Most businesses never check. That is how overpaying happens.
Your rateable value is based on what the Valuation Office thinks your property is worth. They cannot visit every property, so they estimate, and estimates are often wrong.
If yours is too high, you have been paying too much, sometimes for years. The good news is you can put it right, and you can claim back what you have already overpaid.
We take the complex, stressful process of appealing business rates and do all the hard work, so you can concentrate on running the rest of your business.
Whatever stage you are at, there is a clear next step
From a first check to dealing with bailiffs, we handle the part that is stressful and time consuming.

Common questions
How do I know if I am overpaying?
The quickest way is a free rates check. We look at your rateable value against your property and comparable premises, and tell you honestly whether there is a case to reduce it. If there is not, we will say so.
How long does an appeal take?
It varies depending on the property and the Valuation Office, and some cases take several months. We handle every stage and keep you updated, so you are never left wondering where things stand.
What does it cost?
We agree pricing with you clearly before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Get in touch for a free check and we will explain exactly how it works for your situation.
Can I claim back previous years?
Often yes. If your rateable value has been too high, you may be owed a refund on what you have already overpaid, sometimes going back several years. We check this as part of your case.
Do you cover my area?
We work with businesses across England and Wales of every size, from a single shop to a national portfolio.
