By changing your method of taxation from Council Tax to Business Rates we must ensure you are aware of the new account numbers and the reliefs you are eligible for.
Almost uniquely, licensed property valuations are driven off the information that the VOA demand from you. We assist you with the accurate submission of this data
The Valuation Office publish their procedures on their own website and provide a link to the Valuation Tribunal England.
We offer a transparent fee structure for our Holiday home service comprising a “No win – no fee” fixed priced offer.
Fees are subject to VAT.
Truth: We do. The alternative is a time-based fee where we charge by the hour, however, given the constraints of this service we do not believe anyone wants to pay for an unsuccessful service.
In return, should it be appropriate for you to engage us to take your case forwards, we both sign RICS compliant terms of engagement ensuring you receive a professional service and both parties are clear on the fees payable on a successful conclusion of your case.
Once instructed , we carry out the initial stages of registration, drafting your appeal, preparing your case statement, analysing your letting data and engage with the Valuation Office Agency on your behalf.
We are proud of our standards of advice and should we be concerned that your case might fail – we will tell you at the beginning.
No; not for the holiday home service.
Ou fee is payable once the Valuation Officer issues a Notice of Alteration deleting your assessment from the Council Tax List.
