Merging adjacent units

I have 3 adjacent units, which total 6 individual street addresses, trading as a bar. There is only one entrance (with several emergency exits).
I receive 3 different business rate bills for the bar. Would I save money by approaching the Valuation Agency and asking for a re-evaluation and a single bill? I don't know whether the status quo would be better (and cheaper) than opening a can of worms with a government agency.

I don't know if you would save money, but for rating purposes, these should be merged as there is only one rateable occupationIf you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales1

All down to the basis on which the properties are valued. It would be worth a discussion with a local rating surveyor to ask their opinion based on the current billing situation. Don't pay anything upfront, an initial meeting should be free.0
