Our Fees are based ONLY on
savings we make your Company!
Our fees relate to Rates Payable Only. So therefore we do not charge as a percentage of the reduction of rateable value, as with transitional relief, it is possible to reduce the rateable value without creating savings in rates payable.
Ruddle Merz is able to offer specialist Business Rate advice on all properties from single office's through to power stations and water works, so give us a call for FREE to find out how much your business could save. Read more
