Two guest speakers for our first CEO webinar for 2025.  Along with Rennie’s industry update, information on the annual industry survey and upcoming SSA UK initiatives Rennie will be speaking to Brian Ress from Fisher German and Oliver Close from CBRE

Business Rates - Brian Rees | Fisher German

Brian will be giving an update on the new rates improvement scheme and Non-Domestic Rating Improvement Relief which delays qualify works being rateable.  He will also be discussing other changes to the ratings system including delay to the duty to notify process.  This will require ratepayers to notify the Valuation Office of any physical changes to a property within a strict time period. They will also be required to notify the VO of any changes in occupation and terms on which a property is held.

Recent transactions and valuation trends - Oliver Close | CBRE

Oliver will be profiling some of the recent self storage transactions including the recent sale of EasyBox in Italy to Safestore and Nuveen.  He will also be talking about some of the sales that did not go through and what’s on the horizon for 2025, including interest in external storage sites.

Speakers

Complimentary for SSA UK and FEDESSA members.
