Richard Corbett of Roger Parry & Partners says “When you receive details of your new rateable value, you have an opportunity to check the details and compare it with other properties in the rating list. If you think that the assessment or any of the details provided are incorrect, or you feel that the rating your property has been given is unfair, you can in certain circumstances propose a change in the value through the appeals process with the Valuation Office. Checking that there is merit in an appeal is essential and professional advice should always be sought.”

You will need to provide the reasons why you are making a proposal. Mention the reasons on the proposal, including the address and postcode of any other property you are comparing yours with.
