Business Rates Surveyor
An Exciting Opportunity to Shape and Grow a Leading Business Rates Practice
London
£65k- £75k base
Due to continued growth and an expanding client portfolio, an outstanding opportunity has arisen for an experienced Business Rates Surveyor to join a highly regarded and established team.
Over the past year, the team has significantly strengthened its position in the market, providing strategic business rates advice to Local Authority clients and securing appointment to a major public sector framework. In addition, the department has been advising several large UK-wide real estate organisations on complex business rates strategies across extensive property portfolios.
The team specialises in delivering expert strategic advice, appeal management, and innovative solutions that reduce rates liabilities and drive operational efficiencies. Clients range from national brands and major occupiers to public sector organisations and institutional property owners.
