“Once again Tim at FHP has come up trumps, he managed last time to sell 4 warehouses at Bardon Hill in a short time frame and this time he managed to sell two warehouses in a tighter time frame still. Without his expertise the deal probably wouldn’t have completed.”

Mike Tracey – Cannock Developments

We knew when our 21,000ft² building on Sherwood Park became vacant that we were setting our Marketing Agents a tough task in asking them to identify a strong company to let the entire building. Having worked with FHP over the years we knew that they would do their utmost to achieve our aspirations and by letting the entire building to Countrywide Surveyors they have done exactly that. FHP agreed terms in a competitive environment and worked alongside our Legal Advisors to conclude a very satisfactory outcome.

“I cannot praise highly enough the work of Cameron Butler and FHP Property Consultants”

Jason McGuinness, Facilities Manager – Burnage Media Arts College, Manchester

I cannot praise highly enough the work of Cameron Butler and FHP Property Consultants. The School has recently converted to Academy status and Cameron's assistance helped ensure the transition went quickly and smoothly. Cameron carried out a valuation survey at short notice and fortunately for us, his professional and efficient work ethic meant that the School received the appraisal within three days - a valient effort that was greatly appreciated. A big thank you to FHP and Cameron for all your help.

“A big 'thank you' to Cameron Butler, for preparing the valuation of our land and buildings, I would certainly recommend him to other newly converted academies.”

Julie Dimaline, Business Manager – Old Basford School, Nottingham
Old Basford School

A big 'thank you' to Cameron Butler, for preparing the valuation of our land and buildings for our year-end accounts (our first as an Academy). He was more than willing to come out at the end of the school day, when pupils were off-site so that he could get around the site much more easily, and was very approachable and friendly but professional. He was aware that we were working to a tight time-scale and produced the report and valuation very promptly. I would certainly recommend him to other newly converted academies

“Thank you for a very professional service.”

Sarah Dickson, School Business Manager – The Hills Academy, Bedford
The Hills Academy

As the School Business Manager at The Hills Academy I would like to thank you for providing me with a competitive quotation and an exceptionally prompt visit to our premises to conduct the survey. To receive the report within a week was more than we could have hoped for. Thank you for a very professional service.

“I would like to express my thanks to Alastair Fearn for his hard work!”

Leon Jacobson – Grade Products

Having previously employed other rating surveyors without success I was interested to see if a different approach from FHP would yield a positive result. I was therefore extremely pleased when I was informed of the Valuation Tribunal decision and I would like to express my thanks to Alastair Fearn for his hard work in achieving this result.

“At every step Jessica has been professional and knowledgeable.”

Mark Rees, Director – Penmark Cards

Since instructing the business rates team at FHP to look at our retail portfolio 18 months ago we have seen a steady flow of rateable value reductions and subsequent refunds. We have used FHP as our property consultants for 6 years for agency matters and have always been pleased with the results, and I’m very pleased we extended this business relationship to looking at our rates liabilities as well. At every step Jessica has been professional and knowledgeable and I would recommend her and the business rates team to anyone based on their work to date.

“We have been delighted with the level of service that Jessica has provided.”

Rob Wood – Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service

We have been delighted with the level of service that Jessica has provided when looking at the Business Rates for Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service. Over the last 18 months they have assessed each station, sorted discretionary reliefs from Councils, and appealed many of the Rateable Values. The savings from these appeals and associated auditing to date total near on £100,000 which is very welcome news in what are very austere times for many Fire and Rescue Services. At each step of the process we have been kept informed of progress and savings achieved, and I would not hesitate to recommend the Business Rates team to others as efficient, knowledgeable and dedicated in helping their clients save money"

“Cameron was outstandingly professional.”

Colin & Sue Ward, Loughborough

We would like to thank Cameron Butler for his invaluable work, advice and expertise during the compulsory purchase of our home and family butchers business. Recommended by our accountant, Cameron was outstandingly professional and, despite numerous challenges from the County Council, remained resolute during the long and technical negotiations. Without his dedication it would have been almost impossible to have undertaken these negotiations and continue to run our business. The efforts of Cameron minimised the stress of this process, for which we and our family will be forever grateful. We would have no hesitation in recommending FHP to people in the future, as would our accountant and solicitor.

“I have been delighted with their service and results.”

Rod Neasham, Centre Manager – Market Place Shopping Centre, Bolton

The team at FHP have been providing my Shopping Centre with rating advice over the last 5 years and I have been delighted with their service and results. They have proactively challenged and obtained reductions in the levels of Rateable Values and constantly monitor changes so that no opportunities for making savings are lost. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and am looking forward to them continuing to achieve great results for the Centre.

“I would have no hesitation in recommending their services”

Derek Millar, Centre Manager – The Grange and Pyramids Shopping Centre, Birkenhead

FHP has been providing business rates advice to the owners of my Centre since April 2008 and we have built up an excellent working relationship with them over this time. They proactively challenge all aspects of business rates liability for us with outstanding results. The team ensure our exposure is minimised to the lowest possible levels, they have their ears to the ground and act upon local information provided in a swift and expedient manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and thank them for all their endeavours to date.

“Tims market knowledge and experience in this sector are invaluable!”

Gill Merritt – Merritts

Tim at FHP has acted on my behalf now for well over 10 years and during that time he has effectively become my Property Director from afar! He has bought and sold investments for me, re-housed my various businesses and bought both on and off market opportunities to me, all of which have been a terrific success. His market knowledge and experience in this sector are invaluable and I cannot recommend his services highly enough I look forward to working with Tim and FHP once again in the very near future.

“Cameron provided a professional and informed service.”

Mike Powell, Head of Educational Support – The White Hills Park Federation Trust
The White Hills Park Federation Trust

As a recently converted Academy Trust, we required a firm to provide a factual valuation for the balance sheet and reinstatement values for insurance purposes. At the outset Cameron provided a professional and informed service. The actual visit to inspect the Trust’s three school sites was non-intrusive and carried out with the schools full of students and staff on site. Post visit, Cameron checked a number of points to ensure the factual correctness of the final product and kept us informed of the progress of the report up to its final production. I would like to thank Cameron for all his support and making another requirement of Academy conversion seem uncomplicated and reducing my stress levels.
