The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) uses various methods to value properties. A ‘rental’ method is used most often.
The VOA gathers information about rents paid for properties. It analyses the information and works out a price per square metre. It may consider things like property age, construction and location. The price per square metre is applied to the floor area of the property.

Help with previous valuation
You can no longer tell the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) about changes to property details (by sending a Check case) for any valuations on the 2017 rating list.
You can tell the VOA you think the rateable value was too high by sending a Challenge case. You must have sent a Check case before 1 April 2023 and (any of these apply):
- you send the Challenge case within 4 months of the Check case decision
- you have waited more than 12 months and not received a Check case decision
- the Challenge case is about a change in the local area (such as long-term roadworks), you send it within 16 months of sending the Check case and you have received our Check case decision
You can also tell the VOA you think the rateable value was too high if (any of these apply):
- the VOA have altered this valuation in the last 6 months
- a court decision affected this property’s rateable value
You need a business rates valuation account to tell the VOA yourself or appoint an agent to do it for you.

£5,510,000 is the rateable value for this property set by the Valuation Office Agency.
It is not what you pay in business rates or rent. Your local council uses the rateable value to calculate your business rates bill.
Business rates are used to partly fund local council services.

You may also be entitled to business rates relief.
Some properties are eligible for discounts from the local council on their business rates. You have to contact your local council to see if you’re eligible and apply.
