We provide advice to ratepayers in relation to the rateable valuation of their property.
We deal with the Valuation Office throughout all stages of the assessment of a rateable valuation.
- Inspecting the property to assess the correctness or otherwise of an existing rateable valuation and lodging a Revision request (if necessary).
- Inspecting the property and negotiating with the Valuation Office at representation stage after the issue of a proposed valuation certificate.
- If a satisfactory outcome is not achieved following the representation, then proceeding to the Valuation Tribunal, which is an independent state body which decides on rateable valuation appeals.
We provide advice for clients whose properties are about to be valued or have been valued in both the annual Revision and also the ongoing nationwide Revaluation.
We advise on rates refunds from the Local Authorities.
We advise on rates exemptions.
