Over valuation

The representative of RTR Assessors, Richard Chilalika, evaluated my business premises after a burglary based on a measurement of 1200 sq m. The plans stated that they were between 1000 and 1050 sq meters. The same figure was arrived at by an independent surveyor, who at one stage was the president of the survey soc in KZN. Notwithstanding the fact that both these two pieces of info were furnished to him he persisted in his measurements and consequently the "average"policy was implemented. In addition the premiums for the ensuing year have been hiked to match Mr Chilalika's measurement.
