Perspective by Portrait

Business rates research, driven by evidence

Perspective is Portrait’s research tool for finding where a rating saving may exist. VOA data, comparable evidence, scheme analytics and rule-based checks sit in one workflow, so candidates for review are tested before a formal case is ever opened.

How it works

Rating assessments turn on detail

Description, floor area, use, valuation scheme, tone, relativity, supporting evidence. Perspective organises those inputs so an analyst can see quickly whether an entry deserves a closer look, for one property or a whole address list.
