Overview
To assist members of the team in any way possible, mainly concerning: - Analysing properties rateable values in context of their comparable hereditaments and rents, in order to formulate a concise review of any given property. - In doing this I can determine if there is scope for a reduction in tone and if there is whether it is financially viable for the Savills Rating team to challenge this. - As part of these reviews I also look at any MCC opportunities as well as wider rates mitigation strategies such as intermittent occupation and splitting hereditaments to gain reliefs for clients. - Putting together CCA documents on the back of these reviews. - Carrying out FOR's
