Since the first revaluation (in its present form) in 1990, appealing a Business Rates Assessment was a straightforward process. A short, standardised form with minimal information was submitted either on line or by post to the valuation office.
Fast forward to 2017 (following a two year deferral of the scheduled 2015 revaluation) and the rating appeal landscape has changed drastically. The introduction of “Check, Challenge, Appeal” is one such change.
Effectively this is to verify the property, the ratepayer identity and importantly, the agent appointed to represent them. Undoubtedly this is an added frustration but Roger Hannah has produced a step by step guide to make the process as quick and straightforward as possible.
Once the registration is complete you will need to notify us so we can then commence with the first stage of the appeal process.
Unfortunately this process is mandatory for everybody and no appeal can commence until completed.
We are happy to assist you through this process.
