Business Rates will not be payable in the first three months that a property is empty.  This is extended to six months in the case of certain industrial properties.  After this period, rates are payable in full unless the unoccupied property rate has been reduced by the Government by order.  In most cases, the unoccupied property rate is zero for properties owned by charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs.  In addition, there are a number of exemptions from the empty property rate.  Full details are available if you contact us.

 

Please let us know if your property is or will become empty by completing our property vacation form.
