The Government has announced expansion to Small Business Rates Relief, giving independent businesses some vital breathing room. From 1st April 2027, the threshold for 100% Rate Relief for retail, hospitality, and leisure properties will jump from £12,000 to £18,000. This means: • Zero Business Rates: If your RHL property's rateable value is £18,000 or less, you will pay nothing at all. • Tapered Relief: Properties valued between £18,001 and £21,000 will receive a sliding scale discount. • Bill Freeze: Other eligible RHL properties will see their bills frozen in real terms for the next two years to protect them from above-inflation hikes. This is a big help for our independent shops, pubs, cafes and gyms fighting tight margins. Contact us for more information. 📞

These look great ...🐝 🎃 Have you ever wondered what happens to bees in the colder months of the year? Contrary to popular belief, not all bees hibernate. Unlike some bumblebee species, honey bees never hibernate - they remain active all through-out the year. Certain species have different behaviours and strategies for surviving the winter period; although with the influence of climate change and our winters becoming more milder year after year, studies have shown some species are already adapting their behaviour. 🐝

We're so pleased to have participated in the St Marychurch Scarecrow Competition 2026, helping to raise funds for our wonderful community! 🐝✨ We're especially proud to have secured 2nd place with our "Bob the Beekeeper." Our choice of theme highlights the importance of bee conservation, something we're passionate about. A huge thank you to our in-house Beekeeper, Robin, for generously donating all the clothing and equipment that brought our vision to life. It was fantastic to see such a diverse and creative display of many scarecrows in St Marychurch Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this great event! 🌼❤️ #BeeConservation #StMarychurchScarecrows #CommunitySpirit

We are delighted to welcome Owen Mercer to the Bettesworths team. Owen joins us after establishing a career in residential lettings, where he gained qualifications in Housing and Property Management. Having attended Torquay Boys’ Grammar School, he is now pursuing his ambition of developing a career in commercial property, with the potential to work towards becoming a Chartered Surveyor. In his first few weeks, Owen has already been fully immersed in a broad range of property types and instructions. He has also represented Bettesworths at the Wollens PKF Francis Clark Padel Tournament and has taken part in a walking football fixture against Stroke City! Outside work, Owen enjoys rugby and football—and, in his own words, occasionally stumbles into the gym. We look forward to supporting Owen as he expands his knowledge and develops his commercial property career. Welcome aboard, Owen! #CommercialProperty #CharteredSurveyor #Bettesworths #NewTeamMember

Bettesworths are pleased to announce the successful sale of Belvic Court, 11 Orchard Gardens, Teignmouth. This substantial freehold residential investment comprises eight self-contained flats arranged over six storeys, in a prominent position in Teignmouth. The property included some fantastic original features, including the old hotel dancefloor in the basement flat, the original staircase and the upper floor flats benefitted from glimpses of the estuary and sea. The property was sold on behalf of an experienced landlord who wished to downsize their rental portfolio and reduce the pressures associated with self-management. It has been acquired by a growing investor who has purchased other properties across the South West. Belvic Court achieved a solid sale price in the current market, demonstrating the continued resilience and demand for well arranged residential investments. If you are considering selling a residential investment property or reviewing your existing portfolio, please contact Bettesworths for a confidential discussion. 📞 01803 212021 🌐 www.bettesworths.co.uk #Sold #PropertyInvestment #ResidentialInvestment #Teignmouth #SouthDevon #CommercialProperty #Bettesworths #FreeholdInvestment

What a great evening of fun at #corporatepadeltorbay26 🎾 A few points won, a few points lost… but it really is the taking part that counts! 😄 A huge thank you to Wollens & PKF-Francis Clark for organising such a fantastic event. We hope plenty of funds were raised for Children's Hospice South West – a wonderful cause. 💙 Already looking forward to 2027… although we’d better get some practice in first! 🎾 PS.

This month marks the first anniversary of Bettesworths Commercial Property Management. I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved in our first year. What started as a new department has quickly grown into a trusted service, managing a diverse portfolio of commercial properties across the Southwest. A huge thank you to our clients, tenants and professional contacts for their support and confidence in us. Building strong relationships and delivering proactive property management has been at the heart of everything we've done. A special thank you to all the crew at Bettesworths, I am extremely proud to be working with such a fantastic bunch of super friendly and professional people. It's been a fantastic first year and I'm excited to see what the next one brings.
