Bostik were still paying rates on land that they didn’t own!

When Bostik (UK) Ltd approached The Rating Advisory Bureau they wanted to make a considerable reduction to their rateable value.
Bostik’s site was very fragmented which presented it’s own unique problems. We carried out a full investigation on behalf of Bostik. After our initial discussion and a lengthy examination, we discovered that a piece of storage land had actually been sold a long time ago!
We were able to present Bostik’s appeal based on the rateable value being inaccurate because they were still paying rates on land that they didn’t own!
The appeal was a success, resulting in a £20,000 reduction in their Rateable
Value, with actual savings of £50,250 over the period.
The Rating Advisory Bureau (RAB) can deal direct with the billing authority on your behalf, contact RAB to hear how we can help reduce your rateable value.
