‘’I instructed Property Savings Group to appeal our rateable value of £51,500. They took all the information required and went away and secured a reduction to £43,500.
This reduction qualified us for the Government £25,000 grant which has saved the business and will allow us to continue trading.
They were very knowledgeable about the local area and provided a professional service. I would recommend them to anyone.’’

“This case was two interconnected warehouse units where the values were different, despite being of the similar construction.
I got the valuation office to reduce the rates per sqm based on age and quality. Local knowledge and an eye for detail won this case.”
