Your unit isn't set at the standard rate for your parade — the Valuation Office has applied an adjustment. That is usually for something specific about the unit, most often a corner or return frontage. An adjustment on its own isn't grounds for a claim, so we're not quoting you a saving — but it is worth a surveyor checking the reason for it is actually right.
We couldn't find enough matches within about 1 km, so we've widened the search to about 1.6 km. Treat this comparison as indicative, not firm — distant comparables carry less weight, and a surveyor would want closer evidence before challenging.
Your frontage rate isn't the standard rate for your parade — the VOA has applied an adjustment. That's usually for something specific: most often a corner or return frontage, sometimes shape, masking or access. An adjustment on its own isn't grounds for a challenge — the real question is whether the reason for it is factually right for your unit. We're not quoting a saving, and we can't size one from the list alone (the VOA applies the factor to your frontage zones, not to storage). Worth a surveyor checking the survey.
Comparable properties in your wider area, ranked by their value (£ per m²). A high £/m² value is what pushes your rateable value — and so your bill — up. Yours is highlighted in amber. This is a broad-brush screening check on the overall £/m² value — not a floor-by-floor valuation, since retail-style zoning (Zone A/B/C) doesn't apply to this property's use class.
We couldn't find enough comparable properties within about 1 km, so the search is widened to about 1.6 km— treat the comparison as indicative, since distant comparables carry less weight. Addresses are kept private by the Valuation OfficeThe government body that sets every property's Rateable Value. From April 2026 the VOA is part of HMRC (see below), but 'VOA' is still the common name for the valuation side of the work., so they appear by postcode and distance. Figures are estimated annual bills before any business-specific reliefs, so every property is compared on the same basis.

Last known bill is the figure a council's own records show it charges (from Freedom of Information data) — shown only where we have it, like the Business name and Reliefs rows above. Where a council's response predates the April 2026 revaluation, this is its 2025/26 bill under the previous rating list. "Not published" means that council's FOI data doesn't cover this property, not that the bill is nil.
The lowest value in each row is highlighted green; your property is in amber. All figures are estimates until agreed with the Valuation Office.
Median comparable value ≈ £230/m². Your unit is assessed at £265/m² — about 15% higher.
Retail is valued zone by zone — the frontage (Zone AIn shops, the first 6.1 metres of depth from the shop front — the most valuable trading space, and the benchmark rate (£ per m²) used to value the whole unit.) carries the full value, halving back through B and C. We compare on the Zone A value (£/m²), not the blended average.
| Zone / use | Area | Value £/m² | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office | 103.3 m² | £265 | £27,366 |
| Rateable value | 103.3 m² | blended £264 | £27,250 |
Last published charge (2025/26): £12,475/yr, per your council's FOI data. That bill was set under the previous rating list, before the April 2026 revaluation changed rateable values and multipliers — so it is not your current bill, and we don't compare it against this year's figures above.
What's not included above: reliefs not yet loaded for your council — charitable, empty-property, rural, hardship or transitional — could lower this further. They depend on your business and circumstances, not just the property, so check your council bill for your final figure.

How your rateable value has moved across the last two revaluations. RV only changes when a new rating list takes effect — 2017, 2023 and 2026 — not year to year, so the bars step rather than drift.
No bar shown for 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, 2024/25, 2025/26 — the rateable value for that rating list isn't held for this property yet, so we've left those years out rather than estimate them.
Every week we read the Valuation Office's own change files and record what moved. This is that record for this property — checked against VOA data published 5 Aug 2026.
Nothing has changed. The Valuation Office has not altered this entry since the 2026 rating list came into force, which is true of the large majority of properties — a rateable value normally only moves at a revaluation, or after someone asks for it to be looked at. We keep checking every week, and anything that does change will appear here.
This is an estimate, not a guaranteed saving. Business Rate Checker compares your property against similar ones in the official rating list to flag where your rateable value looks high. The figures shown — including any suggested rateable value, annual saving or backdated refund — are indicative and depend on the evidence the Valuation Office Agency (VOA, now part of HMRC) accepts. The actual outcome could be higher, lower, or nil, and in rare cases a review can leave a value unchanged or increased. Nothing here is a valuation, financial or legal advice; it's information to help you decide whether to look into your bill further.
You've got the full picture on your rateable value — the next step is making your claim. See how to challenge it yourself for free, or with a chartered surveyor.
