How the rateable value is calculated

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) uses a ‘rental’ method to value industrial properties like factories, warehouses and workshops.

The VOA gathers information about rents paid for industrial properties. It analyses the information and works out a price per square metre. To get the price per square metre of an individual property, the VOA considers things like property age, location, physical characteristics and features.

The price per square metre is multiplied by the property floor area to get the rateable value.

Plant and machinery, car parking and land that add to the rateable value are shown separately in the valuation.

This property is part of valuation scheme 680598 which includes a price for floor areas and property features.
