Hammer Properties – Business Rates Information

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.

Hammer Properties – Services

Hammer Properties main objective is to act as a middle man between client and the governing bodies in the UK to make sure that all business rate appeals gain the optimum result possible. We will represent you in all business rate related matters during the entire rating block.

Hammer Properties endeavour to appeal against the current rating system and the subsequent assessments in the current Rating List. This will initially start with the informal discussion between our surveyors and the Valuation Office Agency (Inland Revenue & Customs) in trying to settle a reduction in the rateable value within the shortest time possible.

Three months after the submission of an appeal, it can be listed for hearing at a local Valuation Tribunal. At this point we undertake the challenge of fighting the Inland Revenue to ensure that every business in the UK is paying not only a correct but a fair rate on an annual basis. Following the settlement of an appeal, we pursue a claim from the local authority of the physical overpayments in the form of a refund. It should be noted that this is accompanied by interest in accordance with prescribed rules and regulations and can be backdated to the commencement of the current block or the date of occupation if after.

Hammer Properties – What is Transitional Relief

What is Transitional Relief?

If your rateable value of your property changes significantly as a result of revaluation, your rates will change gradually. This is called ‘transitional relief’.

If you get transitional relief, your local council will include this automatically when working out what business rates you should pay.

A small property has a 2010 rateable value below £18,000 (£25,500 within Greater London). All other properties are large properties.

There are limits on how much your rates can increase or decrease.

Please see the Government website to find out more information; https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-business-rate-relief/transitional-rate-relief

Hammer Properties – Are you aware the current assessment has been extended?

The Government has been accused of delivering a “further blow to the country’s struggling high streets” by postponing the revaluation of business rates from 2015 to 2017.
