Helping clients during COVID-19

Are you fully utilising Governments' COVID-19 relief schemes, minimising liability for empty space and ensuring your future rating valuations reflect the impact of the pandemic?

We are concentrating on:

• Ensuring our clients fully benefit from Governments' COVID-19 relief schemes
• Reviewing the opportunities to minimise liabilities for empty/under-utilised space
• Following the Government decision to legislate against Covid-19 being a material event for rating purposes, working with our clients to take advantage of the £1.5 billion fund being released by Govt to compensate those businesses worst affected during the pandemic
• The 2023 rating revaluation is being based on an April 2021 valuation date. We are working with our clients to engage, as best we can, with the Valuation Office Agency to ensure that their liabilities from the commencement of the new list fairly reflect the impact of the pandemic on the rental market in terms of the economic constraints that existed at the 1st April 2021.
