Under the Rating Ordinance, the ratepayer who is not satisfied with the new RV of his property can lodge an objection to the Rating & Valuation Department (RVD) in May 2009. To better serve our clients, BMI Appraisals has an established rating valuation team dedicated to carrying out RV assessments especially for bulk tenements or special properties. Our rating valuation team will perform the following tasks on your behalf:- Carry out an initial rental assessment of each concerned property; Prepare submission of proposals to the RVD; Conduct detailed analysis and valuation for each concerned property; Prepare for discussions or attend meetings with the officials of the RVD. Our team members have sound experience and solid expertise in dealing with various rating objections. We have recently engaged by a number of clients including some large corporations and quasi-government organizations in dealing with more than 350 tenements which comprise commercial shopping arcades, car parks, warehouses, office/industrial developments, land holdings, TV studios and the like. If you have raised the objection on your own before the prescribed deadline, and that you wish to employ a professional surveyor to follow up the matter, we are pleased to provide our professional advice and services in this regard.
