NEW RATEABLE VALUES & HIGHER RATE LIABILITIES!! Why act now? From 1 April 2010 all commercial properties will have new rateable values. These new values are based on the rental values of April 2008 when the rental market was at its highest. The previous revaluation was based on 2003 values. It is likely that your Rates liability will increase. If you are going to save money the first step is to make sure that any initial errors in the draft list are corrected. The second step is to submit an appeal within the strict time limits permitted by the legislation. So be prepared... act now. What happens next? Planning ahead is essential. Instruct Adlers now. We will then be able to take preparatory action. We will give you considered professional advice, we will correct errors and we will prepare your appeals to meet the Governments timetable. Avoid the headache of a last minute panic when your new rateable value becomes effective on 1 April 2010. Our specialist rating consultant, Stephen Bacon, can ensure that you do not pay more rates than you should.
