Property Rates?

Looking to take a business property on for the first time, we have been sent details of a property which we are interested in.

The rent is £15,632 per annum. It then states that the rateable value of the property is £7,200. What does this last part mean?

    I believe the rateable value is what is used to calculate how much you will pay in business rates to the local council. It would be worth checking who is responsible for paying those business rates, and if it's you then phone the council to ask what business rates would be payable on the property because the answer may shock you!

    If I'm wrong about this I'm sure someone will be along to put me straight!
