In 2005 MUA were instructed to act on a bulk liquid storage depot in Kings Lynn. The rateable value shown in the Rating List was £115,000. Following a series of appeals by MUA to reflect age, obsolescence, over capacity, changes in supply, and demolitions the RV was finally reduced to £32,000. Savings in rate payments to the client over the 5 year valuation period exceeded £160,000.

In 2004 MUA received instructions on a dock side storage facility with an assessment in the 2000 rating List of £900,000, split off from an assessment previously agreed by another firm of Rating Consultants. No entry was shown in the 2005 Rating List. Due to the effects of transitional rate relief, MUA were of the opinion it was beneficial to have the 2000 rating assessment reduced to its lowest level. An appeal was made and a reduction to RV £700,000 was achieved. Savings on the 2000 List were limited to £46,000, but when the 2005 List figure is entered the rates savings from this appeal could exceed £1,000,000 for the client.

MUA have acted on the Fawley Oil refinery for over 40 years. A substantial expertise has  developed in valuing this type of industrial complex. Results over the years have included a reduction from RV £26,200,000 to RV £14,940,000 on the 1990 Rating List. The 2000 RV was reduced from £16,900,000 to £15,388,000 following the completion of all appeals. The 2005 assessment is yet to be resolved.
