Our client, the occupier of a café in St Mawes, instructed Vickery Holman to review their business rates assessment.
The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) had used too high a rate per square metre in the valuation of the property.
We carried out an inspection and drafted a detailed “Challenge”, which we submitted to the VOA to request a reduction in rateable value.
The outcome was the revaluation of the property, which treated the property as a restaurant valued on an overall basis, rather than a retail unit valued in Terms of Zone A. This resulted in savings for our client backdated to 1st April 2023.
Our experienced team is ready to assist with unparalleled regional advice.
