Rating advisers
Ratepayers do not have to be represented in discussions about their rateable value or their rates bill, and appeals against rateable values are free of charge. However, if you want to be represented, you may wish to contact the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors or Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation who are qualified and regulated by rules of professional conduct designed to protect the public.
