Empty Property Rates Relief

Any partially or fully vacant property, whether leased or not, will typically qualify for rates savings.

 

If you are a Landlord, there are two principle scenarios;

  • If the property is fit for occupation, temporary rates mitigation solutions can usually generate between 50% – 100% rates relief.
  • If the property is not fit for occupation (e.g. being refurbished or redeveloped), then more permanent mitigations solutions can offer 100% rates relief.

If you are a Tenant, similarly, there are two principle scenarios:

  • If you are not in occupation of the property, temporary rates mitigation solutions can usually generate between 50% – 100% rates relief.
  • If you are in partial occupation of the property, there is a short-term approach to prevent rates charges on the space that is unoccupied.

If you want an estimate of the amount of rates savings we can achieve on your empty property, our Rates Savings Calculator is quick and simple to use, requiring only three data inputs.

 

 

  • Firstly, you should input the Rateable Value (RV) of the property. If you don’t know the RV, it can be found on the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) website by clicking here.
  • Next you should select the property use; either Industrial (used for Industrial Processes) or Not Industrial (used for anything else such as shops, offices and restaurants).
  • Lastly, you should select the property’s location, either England, Wales or City of London.

This Calculator is for guidance only and the results may change based on a more detailed analysis of the subject property.

As non-property people, QuoinStone's sector expertise and experience was invaluable in leading us through the acquisition of our first commercial warehouse lease. We will continue to work with them as our business grows.

QuoinStone advised on all aspects of our first commercial office and warehouse acquisition. It was abundantly clear their experience and longstanding property network was invaluable and we are already working with them on our next commercial property acquisition.
