Retailers being targeted by rogue rating surveyors, Parliament hears Print
26th May 2021
Rogue rating surveyors promising to obtain a marked reduction in business rates bills are “exploiting businesses to sign unfair contracts”, Parliament heard today (26 May).
Kevin Hollinrake, MP for Thirsk and Malton in North Yorkshire, named and shamed rogue agents who he claimed are “effectively conning” businesses – including those in the retail, hospitality and leisure industries – into signing long term contracts for reliefs they would have received anyway and then pursuing them through the courts for payments.
The Westminster debate called for industry regulation to protect vulnerable businesses who are suffering financial distress, in part because of high business rates, from falling victim to such rogue rating surveyors.
