This one line statement was buried amongst the various announcements on Monday from the Department for Communities and Local Government concerning Business Rates made yesterday by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Bob Neill.
This will effect a large number of small and medium sized businesses who still have vacant space, due to the current economic environment. The serviced and managed space sector will be particularly hard hit as this is where an increasing number of assessments under the threshold are to be found.
Whilst there is no getting away from the fact that this is bad news, it should be remembered that vacant space will still merit three months relief (six months if industrial in nature) and that a proactive adviser/operator should still be able to mitigate the empty rate liability.
dohertybaines will be supporting the BCA's campaign which has already commenced to overturn this decision in every way possible and we will also be available for support or advice to mitigate its' impact.

Affiliated Managers Group PLC to grow presence in London
The Central London Office Agency Team has bagged a major acquisition instruction from the large Global Asset Manager AMG Plc.
AMG Plc who are headquartered in the US have appointed the Central London Offices Team to acquire their new Mayfair offices as they have outgrown their current offices on Park Lane overlooking Hyde Park.
The team has beaten off stiff competition to win the instruction and will be advising on the exit of their existing liability, whilst acquiring the new 3,000 - 4,000 sq ft prime Mayfair office.
It is quality high profile Mayfair acquisition instructions such as this, that will make the newly set up Central London Office Agency Department a success in its own right. We are thrilled to be working with a new client such as AMG.

Central London Office Agency Wins Double Instruction!!
The Central London Office Agency Team has been appointed by Holloway White Allom on a comprehensive property consolidation process. This will involve the sale of their long leasehold interest at 43 South Audley Street in Mayfair which comprises approximately 5,300 sq ft and will be of special interest to owner occupiers, as these buildings are currently in short supply.
They will also be acquiring for them a single 8,000 sq ft floor in Victoria. Two other leases in greater London will also be surrendered, therefore allowing staff from all 3 locations to finally be under one roof on a single modern floorplate.
A very exciting instruction with lots of angles. Long leasehold sale, acquisition of leasehold, surrenders as well as dilapidations advice from our Building Consultancy Department.
For any questions, please contact Alex Brown.
