Surge in Rogue Surveyors as Calls Grow for Government to Reconsider Business Rates Reforms

According to a recent investigation, rogue traders are taking advantage of businesses that are seeking help with business rates revaluation in the UK. The investigation found that these rogue traders are charging exorbitant fees for their services, which can be as much as 10 times the cost of legitimate services.

The investigation also found that these rogue traders are using aggressive sales tactics to pressure businesses into signing up for their services. In some cases, they are falsely claiming to have a special relationship with local authorities or claiming that their services are mandatory.

The investigation warns that these rogue traders are preying on vulnerable businesses that are already struggling with rising costs and declining revenues. They are taking advantage of businesses that may not have the knowledge or resources to navigate the complex business rates system on their own.

The investigation calls on businesses to be vigilant and cautious when seeking help with business rates revaluation. They should only use reputable and trustworthy services, and should never feel pressured into signing up for a service that they do not need.

Overall, the investigation highlights the need for greater regulation and oversight of the business rates revaluation industry in the UK. Rogue traders are taking advantage of vulnerable businesses, and urgent action is needed to protect them from these unscrupulous practices.
