Business rates

The Property is currently assessed as small individual suites and as such, the property will need to be reassessed, following completion of the reconfiguration and alterations.

Based on the current £ rate per sq m applied by the voa, we believe that both suites would likley benefit from Small Business Rate Relief if taken individually. This would certainly not be the case if the floor was taken as a whole.

Please note: Not all 'small businesses' qualify for relief. It is important that interested parties confirm the accuracy of this information and the actual rates payable with the Local Authority.
