Does hiring someone help?

Whether an agent helps is not settled here: the advantage has changed sides between years, ahead in 1 and behind in 4. A single combined figure would report whichever side the window happened to favour.

Firms that file on your behalf commonly take a third of the first year's saving. This is the county's own record of how the two groups actually did.

The reasons the Assessor gave

Every decision carries a stated reason. These are the ones that appear most often on Hyde Park decisions, and how often each was attached to a reduction rather than a refusal.
