RatingEdge units are fitted in vacant commercial units in under ten minutes. No structural work, no specialist contractor, no certification process.
Defensible evidence for vacant commercial property.
The intelligence platform that documents Beneficial Occupation — automatically, transparently, and to a standard designed to exceed current compliance benchmarks.
How RatingEdge works
Three steps. No specialist contractors. No paperwork bottlenecks.
2
Monitor
A live dashboard tracks Beneficial Occupation continuously. The platform maintains a complete, time-stamped record of every event without manual input or operator intervention.

Evidence
Audit-ready records are available on demand for any property and any period. Every claim is backed by continuous, verifiable activity data.
Why operators choose RatingEdge
A platform built for the regulatory environment that's coming, not the one that's leaving.
Beneficial Occupation, not staged occupation
RatingEdge documents real activity in real properties. No paper-only arrangements. No token visits. No fabricated occupation.
Methodology designed to be reviewed
Our approach is documented and consistent across every property in every council area. Built to withstand the scrutiny that the rates mitigation market is now attracting.
Complete evidence trail, automatically maintained
From the moment a unit goes live, the platform maintains a continuous, time-stamped record. No manual logging. No retrospective reconstruction. No gaps.
Built on the most comprehensive UK rating dataset
Every commercial property in England and Wales, fully integrated. Postcode resolution, rateable value tracking, and relief-cycle calculations are handled automatically.
For property companies running their own mitigation
RatingEdge is designed for in-house teams and professional mitigators who want professional-grade tooling without outsourcing their rates strategy — and without handing over control of their client relationships.
Property companies with vacant portfolios
Manage relief windows across multiple units and councils from a single dashboard, with continuous evidence maintained automatically for every property.
Asset managers
Quantify and document mitigation outcomes consistently across every property under management, to a standard built to be reviewed.
Professional mitigators acting for clients
Run your whole book on one platform while keeping your client relationships your own. Your client list is yours alone.
Your clients are yours. We are built so we cannot see them.
If you act for clients, who they are and which properties belong to them is the core of your business — not something to hand over to a platform provider. RatingEdge is designed so that your client identities and the link between your clients and their properties are encrypted under a key that only you hold. Our staff see only what is needed to run the rating engine; we cannot browse, export, or data-mine your client book.
- You hold the key. Your client data is unlocked only when you log in, using a key derived from your own credentials. We never hold it and cannot recover it on your behalf — by design.
- You control access. Restrict sign-in to the locations you choose, managed entirely by you.
- You verify, you don't take our word for it. A complete, tamper-resistant access log is available for you to inspect at any time.
We believe in being straight about what this means. The rating engine must read property data to do its job, so we don't claim it is technically impossible for us to ever see a property. What we do guarantee is that we cannot see whose clients they are, or which properties map to which client — and that you can verify that for yourself. Control and transparency, not a promise to be taken on trust.
Methodology and transparency
RatingEdge operates on a deliberate principle: the evidence we produce should exceed the standard that current enforcement requires. The rates mitigation market has entered a period of increasing scrutiny — from councils, tribunals, and the wider property industry. Approaches that relied on minimal occupation evidence are being challenged with greater regularity, and operators using them are increasingly exposed.
Our platform was built with that environment in mind. We do not rely on staged occupation, paper-only arrangements, or token interventions. We document continuous, genuine activity in real properties, and we make that evidence available in a form designed to be reviewed.
Our detailed methodology paper — covering evidentiary standards, audit trail architecture, and comparison with legacy mitigation approaches — is available to qualifying operators on request.
