London’s West End is facing a major new challenge. From April 2026, changes to business rate proposals are likely to increase rates by an estimated 26% for buildings with a rateable value exceeding £500,000, disproportionately impacting businesses in the West End and central London.
We predict 25% of HOLBA members will be impacted by these increases.
Alongside our Chief Executive, Ros Morgan, we've asked our business rates experts, Paul Barnes, Managing Director, Attis Partnership and Alexander Jan, Consultant, Attis Partnership and Chief Economic Advisor to the London Property Alliance.
During the webinar, we will:
- Break down the Autumn Budget
- Explore how these changes will impact businesses
- Answer direct questions
- Explain more about HOLBA's campaign for Real Rates Reform
If you have concerns regarding these changes and would like to speak with us directly before the webinar, please contact our Head of Public Affairs, antonia@holba.london.
