Bird & Howes


Bird and Howes LLP are a firm of ex Valuation Office Agency Chartered Surveyors that represent hundreds of club sector sites with their business rates payments across England and Wales.

We are currently looking to urgently represent all CIU member clubs that are over £12,000 in rateable value. There is potentially a large financial claim that we can make for your club but we have approximately 6 months left to carry out the work or the window will close. We have submitted hundreds of appeals across the country to date and we believe that we can vastly reduce your club's business rates assessment. In many cases, we are able to reduce your business rates liability to zero and claim thousands of pounds back in the club's name.

Our work is unique in that we are looking to appeal the approach to valuation for the entire club sector and we now hold more evidence than the Valuation Office Agency due to the vast number of clubs that we represent.

To give you peace of mind we are approved by the CIU National Executive  but we also represent huge numbers of clubs within the British Legion, Association of Conservative Clubs, Independent Social Clubs, Sports Clubs and many Masonic Halls.

Times are particularly hard for the club sector at present and we believe that our work can help clubs significantly. In many cases, it may be the difference between clubs being able to keep their doors open or not. Typically, we expect to be able to save your club between £100-1500 a month going forward, where we are successful, and that there are additional significant savings to be obtained, for example through reduced Sky TV charges where these charges are already in place.

There is no cost to the service unless Bird and Howes LLP successfully recover a cash refund to your clubs bank account. If we do win your appeal we do not charge clubs for any of the savings achieved monthly going forward after our work is complete. We are paid once only, in relation to the initial cash recovery. If we fail then there is nothing for your club to pay and Bird and Howes cover all expenses associated with our work.
