 Short Brothers PLC, Over £1.5 Million Savings 

Since 2018, Gowlands has secured over £11 Million in business rates refunds and savings for our clients.

 About Gowlands 

We are recognised as the "Gold Standard" in rating advice in Northern Ireland, and we take pride in the reputation we’ve built for delivering first-class service.

Our expert, John Gowland MRICS Dip Rating, has over 17 years of valuable experience working within the District Valuers Office at Land & Property Services and the private sector. He is acknowledged as the only qualified Rating agent in Northern Ireland holding the RICS Rating Diploma. We specialise in securing business rates savings for a diverse range of clients and will assist you in challenging Land & Property Services. Utilising our extensive case-law database, we ensure that your challenge is based on a solid legal foundation. While appeals are an essential part of the process for securing business rates savings, we also make sure our clients benefit from any reliefs and exemptions they are entitled to. In today's environment, Land & Property Services often lacks the resources to value each property individually or to consider if a ratepayer qualifies for reliefs and exemptions. This can frequently lead to inaccurate business rates bills that require correction. Ratepayers often don't have the time or resources to challenge Land & Property Services effectively and can encounter difficulties when dealing with professional surveyors in the District Valuers Office. We are here to support you with an end-to-end service, taking the stress out of managing your business rates and ensuring you pay as little and as fair an amount as possible. We represent a broad spectrum of ratepayers, from sole traders to multinationals, and provide each client with dedicated service to ensure the best results. Our clients keep 100% of the savings we secure for them. Please be aware that business rates can go up as well as down, and we are best placed to mitigate this risk for you.

We’re with you every step of the way, so why not give us a call today for your FREE no-obligation consultation? The only thing you’ll need to worry about is how you’re going to invest the savings into your business!

 What Our Clients Say 

We highly recommend using Gowlands and would have no hesitation using them again if required. We gave John all the information he needed, and he used it successfully to get us an excellent outcome for our business. We would have found this extremely difficult to sort on our own. However, we have no hesitation recommending them to other companies to avail of their services.
