Re-evaluation
 
If you believe the rateable value or other entry in the rating list for your property is wrong, you may be able to make a 'Proposal to Alter the Rating List'.
 
This 'proposal' asks the valuation officer to change the entry in the list - if the valuation officer cannot reach agreement with you as to any change that is needed then the matter will be treated as an appeal and referred to the valuation tribunal.
 

On what grounds can I appeal against my rating assessment ?


You may propose an alteration to the rateable value for your property:
  • If you believe that your rateable value from 1 April 2005 is incorrect
  • If the valuation officer changes your rateable value for any reason.
  • If part of your property has become exempted from rate liability.
  • If there has been a "material change in circumstances" which you feel affects the value of your property, such as a:
  • change in its physical state such as adding to or demolishing part of it
  • a change in its use.
  • a physical change in the locality.
  • a change in the use of a neighbouring property.
