We had the cure for over-high rates afflicting a newly redeveloped, independent hospital in Worcestershire.

On examination the billing evidence revealed mistakes and we successfully negotiated to cancel £125,000 in retrospectively levied rate charges.

A healthy result for this private care provider

Our client had been served a series of rate demand notices all purporting to meet statutory requirements but we found this wasn’t the case.

We carried out a detailed forensic audit on the issued paperwork and on documents specifically requested from the Council. From this we pinpointed all the errors and built a robust case challenging the rating demands.

The Council’s second opinion concurred and our client’s bank account received a strong dose of money.
