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 multiplier (43.2p), 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.
