NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE

There aren't enough guest houses nearby to compare your rooms

The Valuation Office values guest houses room by room. We compare each type of room with the same rooms at guest houses within 5 km in your VOA valuation scheme, and too few are close enough to judge yours. That isn't a clean bill of health: check the number and type of rooms the Valuation Office has recorded.

What we can still check

  • Floor space against your energy certificate
  • Your valuation line by line
  • The reliefs you can claim

Showing figures for a business with more than one property. Small Business Rate Relief doesn't apply then, so a lower rateable value would cut your bill.

This is my only business property

Rateable valueNot enough evidenceNot enough nearby to compare
Why?

The Valuation Office values your 0 room types separately. There are too few guest houses with the same rooms guest houses within 5 km in your VOA valuation scheme to compare yours with.

The comparables: Fact-Check Pack
RoomsCheckCompare with your lease plan or your own measurements
Why?

The Valuation Office's record of your floor space is lower than your energy certificate (2013), but the gap is too large to rely on: the certificate probably covers a different part of the building.

This is an estimate, not a guaranteed saving. BusinessRateChecker 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.

Independent service — not endorsed by the VOA/HMRC. BusinessRateChecker is an independent service. We use published rating-list data under licence, but the Valuation Office Agency (now part of HMRC) does not endorse, back, verify or take any responsibility for this site, our comparisons or our estimates. Official rateable values and any formal decisions come only from the VOA/HMRC.

Figures use the Valuation Office's published 2026 rating list and the 2026/27 retail, hospitality and leisure multiplier (38.2p), before any relief. What-if figures are illustrations, not findings. A Check reopens your valuation, and the VO can correct facts upwards as well as down. Contains VOA data © Crown copyright.
