ABOUT US 

At Jones Hobbs Hawkins, we’ve been helping businesses navigate the complexities of National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) since 1985. We are a RICS-regulated firm of Chartered Surveyors: We deal exclusively with rating matters, bringing decades of expertise to every case.


In 2009, we expanded our service to tackle one of the biggest challenges for property owners: The 100% empty property rates charge. Our tried and tested empty rates saving model has never failed since its inception in 2009. Our clients enjoy removal of empty rate liabilities and remain fully compliant in the wake of the Rating (Empty Properties) Act 2007.


Jones Hobbs Hawkins now solely specialises in management of Empty Property Rate liabilities.
