Commercial Rating Appeals

Specialist rating advice that minimises liability — rateable valuation analysis, appeals to the Valuation Tribunal and vacancy relief guidance.
Overview

Commercial rates are a substantial and increasingly intricate tax burden for commercial property owners and occupiers, and they need active management. Our specialised rating department is committed to minimising our clients' rates liability.

We have extensive experience across a diverse range of property types — Pharma and Med Tech buildings, commercial offices, retail, industrial, nursing homes, cafes, restaurants, licensed and leisure premises, hotels, quarries, and hospitals. Revaluations can present opportunities for rate savings, and with offices from Galway to Dublin we advise on commercial rates and appeals nationwide.

Our services cover all facets of rateable valuations applied to clients' premises and the associated rate liability. We analyse rateable valuation assessments and advise on the feasibility of appeals. In cases of excessive valuation we handle appeals to both the Commissioner of Valuation and, if necessary, the Valuation Tribunal, and we advise on eligibility for vacancy relief under the Local Government Acts.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

I think my rates are too high — can you help?
Yes. We review your rateable valuation, assess the grounds for appeal and handle the process to reduce your liability where the case supports it.
How do I know if I'm overpaying?
We benchmark your valuation against comparable properties and the basis used; if it's out of line, there's usually a case to make.
What does the appeal process involve?
We prepare and lodge the appeal, present the evidence and negotiate with the valuation authority on your behalf.
