Services
Virtually all commercial premises, whether occupied or vacant, are subject to a non domestic rate. As a rule of thumb, the annual liability will be in the region of half the property's annual rental value. A successful rating surveyor combines valuation and negotiation skills with a thorough understanding of the complex legal framework governing business rates.
The law governing Compulsory Purchase is complex, but the overriding principle is that claimants should be fully compensated and left no worse off (financially) as a result of the Compulsory Purchase Order. Professional costs are usually reimbursed as part of the compensation package. This means our fees will typically be met at the expense of the acquiring authority, rather than the claimant.
Simon Alexander represents both landlords and tenants to ensure optimal outcomes at crucial lease events. Most leases include provision for the rent to be reviewed periodically. It is essential for both landlords and tenants to be well advised in order to achieve the best settlement possible. Simon Alexander has the valuation and negotiation skills required to secure the best results for our clients.
Owners of vacant commercial property are entitled a period of rates relief (3 or 6 months, depending on the type of property) when a property first falls vacant after 6 weeks of continuous occupation. Simon Alexander maintains a database of businesses with flexible space requirements who can take occupation of your premises on a short term basis to trigger a fresh period of rates relief.
Simon Alexander offers valuation expertise with an emphasis on situations requiring more than simply a figure and a pro forma report. Most 'mainstream' surveying practices shy away from valuation instructions they regard to as awkward, preferring to churn out standardised reports. Simon Alexander deals with each instruction individually and provides a bespoke service tailored to the client's needs and the purpose of the valuation.
