The amount payable is set every year by Central Government and charged under the Uniform Business Rate multiplier, with revenues being collected by your local authority. You can check your rating assessment here. If you believe your rateable value may be wrong, we can carry out an initial investigation to establish whether a Rating Appeal should be lodged.

Compulsory Purchase is defined as the Local Authority's or Government's legal right to buy or take rights over private property. When acting for clients in cases of compulsory purchase, our prime duty is to ensure the Local Authority pays the market value for property, in addition to other claims and benefits, including Home Loss Payment, Basic Loss Payment and Disturbance Compensation.

Rory Mack Associates undertake Residential valuations on behalf of landlords, investors and purchasers on property asset classes including shops, offices, warehouse and industrial, land and development sites and investments. We also undertake Commercial valuations on specialist property such as public houses, petrol stations, nightclubs and restaurants.

Capital Gains Tax is charged when you sell your property or asset and it has increased in value from the time of its acquisition. You don't usually have to pay Capital Gains Tax when you sell or dispose of your own home due to Private Residence Relief. You may have to pay Capital Gains Tax if you own more than one home or you use your home for business purposes.
