The Cost of Holding a Vacant Commercial Unit
When a commercial property becomes vacant, you’re typically entitled to a short exemption from business rates—three months for most units, and six months for industrial properties. However, once this period expires, full business rates resume, regardless of whether the unit is generating any income.
For landlords and agents dealing with longer-term voids, these charges can seriously impact profitability. Our role is to help you lawfully reduce these costs using strategic and council-approved methods.
