Our surveyor will visit your property to complete an on-site inspection.

In almost every case, this will entail our surveyor drawing up detailed plans of your property.

Check, challenge, appeal & audit
Where the surveyor has identified a possible reduction in your business rates liability, they will lodge a Check as part of the Check Challenge Appeal process.
