Rating Consultancy
We have been reducing rates for local companies and property owners for over 50 years.
If you’re a business operating from a commercial property, rates are likely to be one of your highest expenses – but it is not necessarily a fixed expense – it is one capable of challenge.
The team at Ambit has been reducing rates for local companies and property owners for over 50 years. Rating assessments can be challenged for a wide range of reasons, but a technical knowledge of how a property is valued is required to ensure a case for a reduction is merited. On appeal any NAV (rating assessment) can go or down, so only taking specialist advice from a professional firm with a proven track record is highly recommended.
The Ambit team are presently advising occupiers and landlords on some of highest value and most complex rating assessments in the local market. Our successful rating appeals have secured material “tone” reductions on many large factories, outlet malls, shopping centres, leisure schemes, city centre retail units, drive thru restaurants and specialist properties like data centres.
We have also recently successfully reduced rates cost liabilities for clients by securing industrial distinguishments, winning pan-scheme tone challenges, amalgamating and separating assessments and securing specific exclusions from vacant rates. It is without doubt a very specialised area with a very small number of local experts, but successful cases do not just simply reduce rates bill going forward for clients, they can also result in justified cost savings going back several years.
