Revaluations
Calculating your rateable value
The Valuation Office Agency is responsible for the valuation of your property. Your rateable value represents the potential yearly rent the property could be let for on the open market on a particular date. See a full list of all rateable values on the GOV.UK website.
The Valuation Office Agency may alter your rateable value if your circumstances change.
For queries about your property valuation, contact the Valuation Office Agency. For queries about your business rates bill, please contact our business rates team.
Revaluation 2026 and closure of the 2023 rating list
The new non-domestic rating lists will come into effect in England and Wales on 1 April 2026. Businesses can check their future valuations and let the Valuation Office Agency know if anything is wrong, in advance of the final list being published and their new business rates bill being issued.
The 2023 rating lists will close to Checks and Challenges when the new list is published. This means that ratepayers have until 31 March 2026 to make sure that the information the Valuation Office Agency hold about their property on the 2023 list is correct, and to let them know if it isn’t. The rating assessment can be checked via the GOV.UK business rates search.
Information relating to the 2026 revaluation can be found via the GOV.UK website.
Appeal your rateable value
For more information about your property valuation or to appeal the rateable value, contact the Valuation Office Agency. You still need to pay your business rates pending the outcome of an appeal.
