How the rateable value is calculated

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) uses a ‘rental’ method to value offices.

The VOA gathers information about rents paid for offices. It analyses the information and works out a price per square metre for each floor area. It also considers things like rent free periods and improvements made by the tenant.

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

Features such as air conditioning and lifts may be shown separately in the valuation.

This property is part of valuation scheme 393966 which groups comparable properties together.

You want to change something in this 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.
