Include High Street Estate Agents in Business rate suspension
Confirm that the recently announce business rate holiday in other sectors will Include Estate Agents based in High Street premises paying under £51,000
At this time small local businesses in the Estate and Lettings agency business need the same support from government given to other sectors. These local entrepreneurs employ local people to support the community and the Covid 19 outbreak is having the same financial impact on the property sector. Not to include Estates agents, based in the same locations is prejudice and putting jobs at risk.
