David Gale-Hasleham FRICS IRRV (Hons) is Director, Leisure at Savills and gives the following advice to park operators regarding check cases on the 2017 Rating List, which must be sent by 31 March 2023:

• You should allow at least 15 working days to add a property to your account. Some property valuations need to be requested – allow an additional 20 working days to get the valuation.
• Please be aware that this may add 35 working days or 7 weeks to the time frame needed to meet the 2017 Rating List check deadline and potentially impose a deadline of 10 February 2023.
• In addition, the following was announced in mid-January: that the CCA may be shut down from Monday 27 March to 3 April for essential maintenance.  Moreover some Billing Authorities have been advised not to expect any updates post 24 March 2023.

Time is therefore of the essence.

David advises on holiday parks, holiday centres, golf courses and marinas in all valuation and rating matters. See how to contact him for advice here.
