Rent reviews and lease renewals

If you are a landlord we can use our skill and experience to manage the often difficult and stressful process of reviewing rents to maximise the rental income derived from your investments. We also act for tenants helping them to minimise rent increases, which can be a significant cost for any business.

Lease renewals can present a unique opportunity to amend the terms of an existing lease to better suit the requirements of the client whether landlord or tenant. The process can often be a minefield of traps and missed chances. Drawing on the skills of our Professional Services team will help you realise the full potential of these opportunities.

Rating appeals

Rating Assessments which form the basis of Local Authority rates are revalued every five years in Scotland and it is vital that your business rates are set at the correct level at the time since these are then 'fixed' for the next 5-year period.

We provide a comprehensive and full Rating Consultancy Service which begins with the first step of lodging an appeal and guides you through the very complex, technical and statutorily controlled process to arrive at a fair and accurate rating liability. DMHall is acknowledged as an expert in this area and we are very proud of our successful track record. Our specialist rating knowledge is available to our clients throughout Scotland.

Compulsory purchase

The incidence of clients needing advice in terms of compensation and compulsory purchase are not as common as they once were. However these procedures can be very disruptive to a business often leading to a negative impact on performance and profitability and, in extreme cases, to extinguishment. Should the situation arise, you have the peace of mind of knowing that our Professional Services team have in-depth experience of this specialised area and will give you the best possible advice on how to manage these situations.
