Rating Agent Guidance
What is a rating agent?
Rating agents can deal with the Valuation Office and your business rates on your behalf. They can discuss your property valuation with the Valuation Office or your Business Rates bills with North Warwickshire Borough Council. They are often members of a professional body.
Valuation Office standards
The Valuation Office has published guidance on instructing reputable rating agents. The vast majority of rating agents are reputable and provide a good service, but a small minority do act in bad faith.
