Client Testimonials
Property owners, developers, and facility managers rely on Stirling Silver to protect their assets and reduce their costs.
We had a large retail unit sitting empty for eight months and the rates bill was becoming a serious concern. Stirling Silver assessed the property within 48 hours and had an occupier in place within the week. The saving was significant.
Professional from start to finish. They handled the rates mitigation and arranged the full clearance of the premises. Having one point of contact for everything made the process far simpler than I expected.
As a developer with multiple vacant units across Greater Manchester, managing rates exposure was costing us considerably. Stirling Silver now handles our entire portfolio and the savings speak for themselves.
I was sceptical at first — it sounded too straightforward. The team took time to explain the legal framework clearly, arranged the assessment quickly, and the relief was confirmed without any complications.
Stirling Silver managed the mould remediation and drain-down on two of our vacant industrial units ahead of a planned redevelopment. Timely, thorough, and well documented for our insurers.
Quick response, competitive, and they genuinely understand the rates system. The inspection reports they produce are detailed enough to satisfy our insurance provider. Would not hesitate to recommend.
