Property cost reductions, built on measured evidence

Portrait works where inaccurate property information inflates what an organisation pays: business rates, surface water drainage charges and insurance premiums. One method underpins all three, and it starts with measuring the building rather than accepting the record.

No reduction, no fee

For qualifying instructions the LiDAR scan is arranged at no upfront survey charge under signed terms. Our fee applies only if a qualifying reduction, refund or agreed saving is achieved.

The reduction services

Three routes to a lower property bill

Business Rates Reductions

Rateable value, classification and reliefs reviewed against the measured property and challenged through VOA check and challenge.

Surface Water Reductions

Drainage charges audited against measured surfaces and actual drainage routes, with backdated reclaims where billing was wrong.

Insurance MTA Reductions

Policy data corrected mid-term on measured evidence, so premiums track the real risk rather than a cautious estimate.

The customer journey

Every engagement follows the same shape

01

Consultation

A conversation and a desktop review of bills, policies, plans and records. Free, and sometimes the end of the matter.

02

Qualification

We confirm whether the case suits the no reduction, no fee route and whether LiDAR capture is needed.

03

Evidence

The property is measured and the records are checked against the facts. You see the findings in full.

04

Resolution

Challenges, corrections and reclaims are pursued to a conclusion, with outcomes reported in writing.

Related work

Beyond the three reductions

The same measured capture supports a wider set of work: spatial data packs for projects and facilities teams, and the Landscape and Perspective platforms that hold and interrogate the evidence.
