Tip - Using Rating Consultants

Before agreeing to employ any rating consultants, always confirm:

- Terms

- Expertise

- Their professional indemnity insurance cover.

Fees paid should depend on the amount of work needed and on whether the appeal can be resolved by agreement. If a firm is handling a number of appeals from a specific area, it may negotiate a settlement that includes all of them, which will reduce the cost of each individual case.
