Challenge
The client’s premises appeared to have been valued using inaccurate assumptions, outdated rates and facilities that did not reflect the actual condition of the site.
What the team did
The bill, property features, photographs and comparable businesses were reviewed. Discrepancies were organised into a clear argument for the valuation authority.
Outcome
The valuation was adjusted downwards, producing a materially lower bill and significant savings. The case underlines the importance of checking assumptions behind official valuations.
