Are you paying business rates on an empty property? FHP can help reduce your business rates with our tried and tested rates mitigation scheme.

Our rates mitigation scheme has been running for over 3 years and in this time we have helped 100s of landlords save money by gaining them empty property relief.

The scheme is fully supported by case law and we have a 100% success rate across England and Wales.  Since 2019 we have saved over £2m for UK investors, developers and owner managed businesses.

Using our extensive knowledge we are able to remove or significantly reduce your rates liability whilst your property is empty. You could think of it as a rating holiday for your property.

We can apply this to any commercial building! If you are paying buisness rates on a commercial property and would like to save up to 75% of your business rates get in touch with our team.  We can offer you professional advice and how to move forward with this.

How does it work?

We have a tenant who will take occupation of the property on a short-term basis.  This will trigger a holiday from paying business rates for up to 6 months. After this period our tenant vacates and you benefit from the savings made.

Our tenant can reoccupy your property and this process is repeated until the property is sold or let.

The tenant uses the property for what is known as proximity marketing. If you have not heard of this, it is a localised blue-tooth distribution of advertising content associated with a particular place.

This is extremely unintrusive, and would not disrupt any marketing, viewings or refurbishments that may be ongoing.  All the tenant needs is a power supply to plug a small box into which transmits the Wi-Fi signal.

Key facts

  • Reduce costs associated with your empty property
  • No interference with marketing empty space
