I work in Newmark UK’s Specialist Property Rating and Valuation team, based in the London office. I specialise in asset valuation and rating matters and have particular experience of specialised properties and those used for charitable purposes.
I provided a complete rating appeals and consultancy service to more than 30 universities in the 2005, 2010 and 2017 rating lists, saving them in excess of £10m through reductions negotiated in the 2010 rating revaluation. I also provide rating advice to a number of major national museums and galleries including the British Museum, for which I secured a rate rebate of more than £1m in the 2000 rating revaluation. I have particular expertise in DRC valuation techniques including asset lifting and componentisation apportionments.
My clients include universities, local authorities, NHS trusts, major national museums and London estates.
