Estate and Letting agents to get business rate relief for the period of Covid 19
I would like the government to give business rate relief to Estate and Lettings agents for the period of 12 months minimum as they have done so much to support landlords and tenants as well as other businesses. Estate and Letting agents with shops fronts who pay business rates have had no support.
I am a family run business and will have end up Closing down at this rate as we have not been given any sort of support.
