A great company to work with

We have been working with Altus Group for years and they are a great organisation of highly skilled professionals who go the extra mile to help and deliver results. Our latest interaction with Christopher Dillon confirmed this tradition and once more helped us to further manage the reduction of business rates for our building.

the company requires advance payment AND YOU END UP PAYING COMMISSION FOR LIFE.

the company requires advance payment and when we tell them we will settle when the refund is received . they go to court to claim the money in a discreet way and do not send serve the legal paper work or make any further demands until the Bailiff arrive at the door to claim twice as much. Avoid using this company or agree the terms to settle when refund is received or to cease the agreement at least after 2 years as apparently you end paying them 50% commission for life.

BEWARE AS SHARKS COME IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Altus Group, I’m sorry that this has led to a 1-star review.

We only charge fees for business rates savings that are a direct result of our work. As we achieved savings for your business, we invoiced our fees as per our agreement which ends when the 2023 Rating List concludes.

Your local council should have recalculated your rates bill and issued any refund due.
We have been in regular correspondence with you about the outstanding invoices from October 2023 to January 2024 and notified you about subsequent legal actions. Correspondence was also sent by the court to your registered address on Companies House in April 2024 as per their legal process.

We would like to help by checking your refund status with your local council, and to provide further information re our agreement, our fees to date, and clarify what to expect for the remainder of your agreement. A member of our Client Success team will be in touch very soon.

Our company had a concerning experience…

Our company had a concerning experience with Altus Group. We were offered a "no win, no fee" contract, which we accepted and signed. However, after two years of no work being completed, we were unexpectedly charged cancellation fees.

Based on our experience, we advise others to carefully scrutinize any documents and agreements with Altus Group. It’s important to ensure all documents are legitimate to avoid similar situations.

I have put a request for our company solicitor to take them to court.

Hi I have been contacted by Altus group…

Hi I have been contacted by Altus group last 2 years ago promising to lower my business rates and they kept saying to me to arrange a no obligation meeting to lower the business rates and they sent someone down and the person they sent said there's no fees to pay and they said I had to sign a contract before the deadline on the day via e sign however after signing the contract I have done some research and spoke to a few businesses and heard that they are a company who scammed people and charged them for doing nothing so I did not send them any of thier requested information they needed from me to proceed an application so they haven't processed any application to the government as I refused to give them anything to act and they kept on pestering me and now they're asking me to pay £4343 plus vat for absolutely nothing

Building Rates Review

We requested Altus to help us review our rateable values on our business premises - the process was relatively painless, and stress free - we have had a sizeable refund of overpaid rates.

Absolute Scam Artists

I cancelled this company's services 11 months ago! Despite numerous requests to stop sending invoices, they continue to bombard me with bills during last 2 month (almost 7 months from cancelling services). It's clear they're trying to pull a fast one.

This is nothing short of fraudulent. Avoid this company at all costs. They are con artists who have no regard for their customers.

I demand an immediate stop to these harassing invoices.

As Financial Controller of London City Bond I was very pleased that we were successful in securing a business rate reduction working with Altus Group.

We are extremely happy with the outcome and service provided.

A worthwhile exercise with a successful result...

We were very pleased with the services of The Altus Group in connection with our successful rates challenge to the Valuation Office. Altus managed to negotiate a reviewed survey and a reduced assessment leading to demonstrable savings…a worthwhile exercise led by a professional team.
