MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS
Under Money Laundering Regulations, we are obliged to verify the identity of a proposed tenant once a letting has been agreed and prior to instructing solicitors. This is to help combat fraud and money laundering and the requirements are contained in statute. A letter will be sent to the proposed tenant once terms have been agreed.
RATES
The property is currently assessed with Unit 15 but we would expect Unit 13 to have a rateable value below £12,000 per annum once reassessed.
The Government has doubled Small Business Rate Relief. Eligible occupiers may benefit from having a significantly reduced liability for Uniform Business Rates (up to 100% relief where properties have a rateable value of £12,000 or less) during this period. Applicants must check their eligibility and entitlement to any related benefits with the relevant Local Authority.
Interested parties are advised to obtain confirmation of the rateable value and rates payable from the local authority.
