We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of our market, thinking outside the box and offering reliable property advice which delivers positive outcomes for all our clients.”
“In recent months, we have assisted a number of clients in the disposal of their accommodation, as well as securing improved accommodation to meet the requirements of the modern workplace.

With the latest Business Rates Revaluation underway, Assessors have just release their final valuations on 1st April 2023 with any proposals to appeal required to be submitted by 31st July 2023. Each commercial property sector will be impacted differently and with draft values already in circulation after being issued back in November 2022, there are likely to be some surprise changes to currently available rates relief opportunities.
