We do this for landlords and tenants alike, reviewing and challenging rateable values; auditing and managing rates payments; and offering advice on vacant or underutilised space, or space undergoing works.
Business rates are a tax on the occupation, or the right to occupy non-domestic property in the UK. Savills rating team can manage and mitigate this cost for clients, and has been doing so for over 100 years.
Over a century of helping occupiers assess, manage and challenge business rates and minimise rate liability
Our business rates service is suitable for anyone with an interest in non-domestic property, whether they be a trading business, a charity, an investor or a developer. The sectors we cover include industrial, logistics, office, leisure and trade-related, as well as specialist properties which may not be conventionally valued, such as oil refineries, national utilities and caravan and holiday parks.
Our experienced and dedicated team of rating experts covers the whole of the country from Savills offices in London, Birmingham, Cambridge, Peterborough, Chester, York, Perth, Belfast and Dublin.
As well as interacting with most commercial teams in Savills, we work particularly closely with Savills agency and property management services, which provides our rating experts with more transactional and comparable data than many of our competitors, and with recent changes to the appeal system in England, access to this wider source of market evidence is vital to achieving successful appeals.
This seamless service allows us to provide a variety of different service levels which can be tailored to each client's requirements, with the common objective of reducing both the level of rates liability and the administrative burden.
