SUCCESS!!
We have acheived a reduction in the valuation of most of the huts. You should have received two rebates by now. The first is due to the government giving non-domestic rate payers a 12 month holiday if their property is valued at less than £5000. The second is due to the re-valuations that we fought for.

Although the government announced a further 12 NDR holiday, the fight goes on. We now need to appeal the revised valuations for 2010, otherwise your bills will be creeping up again. Please see your spring newsletter for details on how to appeal or contact Ann on 01202 429898 or email: bmthbeachhuts@yahoo.co.uk

Ask yourself: if my hut was broken in to, attacked by vandals, arsonists, a severe storm or even a freak gust of wind, would I be able to recover all my losses? That’s why we believe it makes sense to protect your hut. Even if you have insurance, how sure can you be sure that your policy would pay enough to cover the replacement of your hut and its contents if the worse were to happen? The good news is that TL Risk Solutions can help. Our experienced beach hut team is dedicated to finding the best possible cover for your hut. Remember, as a beach hut association member, you will be entitled to discounts and other benefits. Give us a call on 0113 224 5361, email us at beachhut@tlrisksolutions.com, or visit www.beachhutinsurance.com, quoting reference ASN1210.
