We aim to minimise your business rate liability
Our expertise covers the entire spectrum of the business rates function, from challenging business rate valuations to examining your business rate records for evidence of overcharging. We have advised clients on business rates for over 20,000 properties, ranging from one-off buildings to large property portfolios. And with offices throughout the UK and Ireland, we have the experience of more than 30 specialists to draw on.
Colliers CRE business rates team includes a former Group Statutory Valuation Officer and leaders in the business rates industry – a number of our specialists sit on the panels of the Institute of Revenues Rating and Valuation and Rating Surveyors' Association.
Negotiating better business rates
Negotiating better business rates is an important part of our service but we can do much more for our clients.
Colliers CRE business rates team was among the first to offer a business rates account management service – ours has been running for more than a decade. We're now handling payments of more than £140m a year on over 8,500 properties. And Accurates, our business rate audit and compliance business, has become one of the leaders in its field.
