For surveyors

Signed cases.
No origination work.

We identify commercial property occupiers where the 2026 rateable value is not supported by the comparable evidence, contact them directly and get a signed fee agreement in place before we approach you.

What you receive

We identify and contact occupiers, walk them through the case and get a signed contingency fee agreement in place before we approach you. By the time a case reaches you, the occupier has already agreed to the engagement. Your job is the appeal itself.

We only bring cases where the comparable evidence supports a reduction. We do not pursue speculative appeals. If the evidence is not there, we do not sign the client.

What comes with every case

Signed contingency fee agreement
Self-certification confirming no structural changes since 2023

The problem we solve for you

No cold calling

Finding and converting occupiers is time-consuming and increasingly difficult. We handle origination entirely. Every case you receive has already been qualified and signed.

Evidence first

We only bring cases where the comparable data supports a reduction. We do not pursue speculative appeals. If the evidence is not there, we do not sign the client.

2026 window

The 2026 revaluation created a concentrated window of opportunity. We are active in the market now. Cases are available.

Pricing is based on a percentage
of the estimated total fee.

We do not publish a rate. Case values vary significantly and we price accordingly. Volume arrangements are available for practices taking multiple cases. Pay an introduction fee by card and the case is yours immediately.
