RATING:

It is only prudent that you ensure that the rating liability of your business is not excessive. It is especially important since the revaluation is set once every five years.

Whyte & Barrie are rating experts having three partners as full members of The Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation (IRRV) and several of our professional staff having served part of their professional careers as Assessors in local government.
