2010 Rating Revaluation


A new Rating List comes into force 1 April 2010. Some Ratepayers will see an increase in rates payments while others will benefit from a reduction.

The CB Richard Ellis Rating team will guide you through the Revaluation process ensuring that key dates are not overlooked and that your bottom line property costs are kept to an absolute minimum.
