/ Rates Appeal Pack
UK's cheapest business rates appeal — one fixed fee, no percentage of your savings.
Upload your rates bill and give us the business details for each site. Our AI-built appeal scans your local area, business activities and comparable assessments to find every legitimate route to a lower rateable value. We provide one thing: the finished appeal document — a complete, in-depth professional legal appeal as a PDF written for the Valuation Office (VO). You upload it to your Check & Challenge Government Gateway business rates account and submit the appeal yourself, staying in full control of your case. We only charge for the appeal document, never a share of your savings.
Up to 50% savings on the new rateable value can be achieved — and every penny of that saving stays with your business.

/ Frequently Asked Questions
Business rates appeal pack — your questions answered
How much does the rates appeal pack cost?
One fixed fee of £495 + 20% VAT per site (£594 total, payable in GBP). That's all you ever pay us — we do not charge a percentage of your savings, success fees or commissions. We are the cheapest fixed-fee rates appeal company in the UK.
Do you take a percentage of my savings?
No — never. Unlike traditional rating agents who take 25–50% of any savings, we only charge for the appeal document itself. 100% of any reduction in your rateable value and rates bill stays with your business.
What exactly is in the AI-built appeal document?
A full, in-depth professional legal appeal as a PDF, written for the Valuation Office (VO). It includes AI desktop research on your property and local area, comparable VO assessments, statutory grounds of appeal argued in full, an evidence schedule covering comparables, floor areas, zoning, reliefs and material change of circumstances factors, and step-by-step guidance for uploading it to your Check & Challenge Government Gateway account.
How does the AI local-area scan work?
Our AI scans your property's locality for legitimate rateable-value reduction routes: comparable assessments nearby, your business activities, reliefs you may qualify for, and local factors that affect value. You can read a full explanation on our AI transparency page — and you review the complete appeal document yourself before anything is submitted to the VO.
When will I receive my appeal document?
We begin the rate review to reduce your costs as soon as your order is confirmed, and the full legal appeal document is emailed to you within 72 hours. The document is our service — you upload and submit it yourself through Check & Challenge in your Government Gateway account. Ongoing support is available if you have questions about anything in the document during the appeal process.
What do I need to provide?
Upload your latest rates bill and give us the business details for each site. If you don't have a bill, simply confirm the full property address and postcode instead — that's all we need to start.
How far back can an appeal go?
We can only work within the current (new) rating period — historic backdating is not possible — so the sooner you act, the more you stand to save.
How much could my business save?
Up to 50% savings on the new rateable value can be achieved, depending on your property, locality and the strength of the evidence. And because we only ever charge the fixed £495 + VAT fee, every penny of the saving stays with your business.
Do you submit the appeal for me?
You upload the finished PDF to the Check & Challenge service in your own Government Gateway business rates account — it takes minutes, and we provide step-by-step guidance. This keeps you in control and means there are no agent mandates to sign.

Everything managed for you — at no cost to your business
Business energy, water and business rates cost management with nothing to pay. We manage your supplier accounts, audit every bill, sign and file the paperwork, and recover what you have been overcharged. You stay in control and can withdraw access at any time.
No fee to your business
No subscription, set-up fee or minimum term. Suppliers pay us, you never do.
We manage your supplier accounts
Confirm your supplier names and online logins once — encrypted, masked and cancellable in one click — and we work your accounts directly.
Overcharges eradicated at source
Every bill line audited: wrong unit rates, out-of-contract rates, estimated reads, duplicate standing charges, VAT and CCL — recovered up to six years back.
Sign once, digitally
Type your name to sign your Letter of Authority. Every signature carries a DocuSign-style certificate of authenticity with time, IP and device.

Your signed LOA is stored as a PDF, emailed to you and issued to every supplier with your account numbers and business name on the subject line.
Readings and usage tracked
Submit readings from your phone or let us post them into your supplier account, so you are billed on actuals and never estimates.
Renewals never missed
We watch contract end dates and negotiate whole-of-market before any out-of-contract rollover can bite.
Disputes handled with evidence
