––Danny specialises in strategic advice to reduce business rates, including rating appeals, temporary rate reductions such as for disturbance, and various forms of rate relief.
He also undertakes rates auditing work to identify historic issues such as rate over-payments and transitional certification, to help reduce business rates.
Through his business rates advice, Danny has secured savings for many companies but particular professional achievements include representing self-storage operator, Easistore Ltd, in respect of their Crawley Site.
