A significant new piece of legislation, the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), is already radically changing the way buildings are designed and managed, and how public services are provided. At Chappers Ltd we are fully aware of both the requirements and implications of the Act and we will ensure that we all adequately discharge our duties by advising you on necessary building works to comply with the Act. We can also supervising this work where necessary.

The burden of rates tends to increase each year. A successful appeal against the rateable value of your property will reduce your liability not just for the year in question, but until the next revaluation.

All commercial properties are subject to business rates but many occupiers pay more than they need to. The rateable value of your premises can be reduced on appeal.

We can make an appeal on your behalf, negotiate with the District Valuer, and give evidence if necessary to the Valuation Tribunal. A rebate of overpaid rates can then be claimed from the local authority. Care must be taken as rateable value can go up as well as down!

Chappers Ltd will give you the personal service that you deserve to ensure that the rateable value of your premises is assessed correctly at all times. This will allow your rates payments to be maintained at the lowest possible level.

The cost of business rates is substantial but with professional help you can take comfort from the knowledge that you are paying no more than absolutely necessary, leaving you free to concentrate on running your business.
