Welcome

In order to reduce our clients’ rates liabilities we advise on the following areas:-

• Rates Appeals – Rateable Values are often too high. We will examine whether or not your Rateable Value represents fair value, if not we can appeal against the level of your Rateable Value and lead all negotiations with the Valuation office. We have experience in presenting cases on behalf of our clients in Valuation Tribunal if resolution cannot be found through normal discussions.

• Changes in your Environment – Where there is a material disturbance to your business from external factors we can seek allowances to your rates. These factors may include roadworks , refurbishment/demolition/construction at a new development adjacent to your property or at your own property causing a detrimental impact to your business.

• Completion Notices on New Buildings – We will examine and in some cases appeal against the commencement of rates assessments.

At CPS we pride ourselves on being the market leader in business rates auditing for tenants and landlords throughout the UK. 

By choosing CPS as your business rates audit partner, you will be giving your business the best opportunity to secure the largest possible rebate from your historic business rates liabilities.

A CPS rating audit is a unique service that delivers business rates refunds through the forensic analysis of historic rates accounts.

For example, some of the errors we look to correct are:

• Incorrect application of transitional relief.

• Transitional certificates not being issued.

• Material change in circumstance allowances not applied.

• Failure to apply charitable relief.

• Rateable Value reductions not carried out.
