Since the creation of the business rates system back in 1990 questions have been asked as to how these figures are determined and why valuations are based around rental figures when they are an arbitrary value and set based on an individuals ideas of a properties location, size and description. The best example of this is as a landlord who will pay a surveyor to produce a surveyors report highlighting the positives of a property and producing a rental figure near the higher end of the rental spectrum, as opposed to a tenant who will highlight the negatives and try to negotiate nearer the bottom end. The UBR system is not unlike this example, with the Valuation Officer for a district determining a hypothetical rental figure (a Rateable Value) for an area and the occupier is then entitled to challenge that figure. During this current recession period the flaws of the UBR system have become more and more apparent, the introduction of small business relief back in 2005 highlighted the unfair system that was finally being recognised by the labour government and was there to assist the small business man, since 2010 that relief has been doubled because it still didn’t alleviate the pressure and as of April 2014 an extra £1000 is also being offered by the government as again another piece of legislation that is meant to reduce the outgoing but again highlights the imperfections with this archaic and inconsistent arrangement.
It is naive not to be aware of the up and coming election and like most governments different parts of the residential and commercial parts of the country are being given help and assistance to attract voters. It must be asked why now and if the actual help is the full extent of the assistance that could be offered.

Office accommodation in Curzon Street, Westminster.
Our case workers Mr. H Berlin & Mr. J Berlin together argued against the Valuation Office to reduce the business rates at 7 Curzon Street. In negotiations the Valuation Office would not agree to reduce, and even persuaded other firms to withdrawn their appeals. We believed in the case so much that we took the matter to Tribunal (court).
The independent panel were supplied with our expert report and also the Valuation Officers report. At Tribunal oral arguments were heard from both sides and following this there were cross examinations. The parties then rested and the Tribunal informed us they will write to both parties within 21 days with there ruling.
Hammer Properties have just been informed that the Tribunal ruled in our favour and determined there should be a reduction as per our arguments. As a result the rateable value has been reduced from £107,000 – £100,000 with effect from 1st April 2010. In real terms this means the following saving will apply excluding any transitional relief (*) given by the local authority.
| Year/Rate | £107,000 | £100,000 | Saving |

Good News For Small Businesses
Proposed Changes To Business Rate Initiatives
For the first time ever the Government has intervened to cap the increase in business rates at 2%. Small business rate relief which has been in effect since October 2010 is to be extended until March 2015 which will help businesses with a rateable value below £18,000 (£25,500 in city of London).
How to apply for the relief?
- If your RV is between £12,000 & £18,000 (£12,000 & £25,500 in city of London) – The discount will automatically be applied on the rates bill. A lower multiplier known as the Uniform Business Rate (UBR) will bee applied so no action is required.
- If your RV is below £12,000 – Not only will you be entitled to the UBR but you will be able to claim for Small Business Rates Relief. The rate of relief will gradually decrease from…
