Empty Property Rates Don’t Need to be a Problem

The Issue: empty commercial properties place a financial burden on ratepayers who are paying full rates on an unoccupied property.

The Result: many ratepayers are overpaying without realising.

The Caritas Solution: our professionals will identify and compatibility-check strategies that can be implemented to significantly reduce your empty property rates bill. In many cases we can work to remove the liability altogether.

Nationwide Rates Relief Specialists

The team will evaluate the rates liability on your vacant commercial properties to discover where the best savings can be made; analysing your specific circumstances to help you pay less empty rates.

There are a number of diverse strategies that can be utilised within this highly complex area of the law to help ratepayers reduce their liability. Examples include: intermittent occupation, buildings that are beyond economical repair, existence of asbestos, and many more.

Whether you have a single property or a large property portfolio, Caritas provides you with an honest, efficient and professional solution to help keep your empty property rates liability as low as possible.

What’s more, we only charge for this service when we are successful, meaning there is no financial risk to your business.
