What is a revaluation?
A revaluation is the review of the rateable values of all commercial and other non-domestic property in England at a particular point in time (Valuation Date). They are performed to maintain fairness in the system by redistributing the total amount payable in business rates, reflecting changes in the property market. For example, your properties rateable value change on 1 April 2017 will be based on data accrued from 1 April 2015.
A property’s business rates bill is based on a precise estimate of the premises’ rental value. Business rate bills are calculated using specific valuation methods. It is important for rateable values to be regularly updated through revaluations to ensure bills stay accurate.
