Minimising your occupational costs Business rates Rent review & lease renewal We specialise in minimising occupational costs i.e. rent, rates & service charge. Buoyant demand has left the market for property in Bristol in the ascendancy, resulting in increasing rental values and therefore increasing rent. It is highly unlikely that your Rateable Value will be reviewed by The Valuation Office Agency unless they are prompted. Therefore, if you do nothing, you may be paying local tax at a higher level than you should be. We offer a no win no fee service, and will review your business rates to ensure that you are not paying an excessive amount. If we cannot reduce your payments then there is no fee. We have over 25 years of experience in dealing with rent reviews and lease renewals on commercial property and we pride ourselves in achieving the best results for our occupier clients to keep any potential rental increases to an absolute minimum.
