Business Space Costs

Jones Norris Adams recommend businesses take advice to keep their property costs as low as possible. In particular we help businesses deal with rent and rates.

Rent

We have expertise and experience negotiating commercial rents. We can do this when:

• property is first taken, when we advise on acquisition
• investigating opportunities for lease restructuring
• negotiating rent reviews
• advising at lease renewal

We provide professional advice to both landlords and tenants across all sectors of the property industry. We have the technical and legal expertise to give you quality independent advice and the experience and dedication to ensure your position is protected at all times.

Our Asset Management knowledge also gives us the edge when it comes to quantifying and maximising value through lease re-structuring opportunities. Our in-house database provides an excellent source for research and support. We also have an excellent network of information sources and external data providers.

Business Rates

Jones Norris Adams provide specialist advice to ensure rates are minimised.

As part of our service, we:

• Complete the mandatory questionnaires requested by the Valuation Office on your behalf.
• Provide a rate liability forecast
• Assess whether the Rateable Value is in line with our expectations
• Lodge Appeals within the statutory framework
• Negotiate with the Valuation Office Agency and where necessary, represent you at Tribunal hearings.
• Provide financial analysis highlighting how any change to the Rateable Value will affect you and detail the impact of any transitional relief.
• Investigate if there is any rate relief that you can benefit from

We have experience with all types of property not only offices shops and factories but also car showrooms, bars, colleges, time share villas, stud farms and even a zoo.
