Business Rates Department

RatingHarris Lamb's Business Rates Team offer specialist advice with regard to rating issues. We have the knowledge and experience to negotiate with both the Valuation Office Agency and Billing Authorities to mitigate the impact caused by this significant property tax.

Our services include:

  • Appeals
  • Reliefs – Mandatory and Discretionary
  • Empty Property Rates
  • Rates Audit
  • 5 year budgeting forecasts
  • Rates Management


2010 - The new list is now live!

The rating revaluation came into force on 1 April 2010, with significant changes to transitional arrangements and uniform business rates throughout the UK.
The impacts of this revaluation have begun to emerge, with the most significant changes affecting:
Replacement Cost Valuations - Highest Increases outside of Greater London relate to properties valued in this way
Central London properties - 100% increases have been seen
Rates supplements - Greater London and other areas; 2 pence in the pound (for Assessments over £55,000)
The Government’s decision to abandon empty property rates relief in April 2008 has had serious cost impacts for some companies. The new rules do allow for opportunities to mitigate liability for this tax, for which we are currently advising our clients.
