How the rateable value is calculated

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) uses various methods to value properties. A ‘rental’ method is used most often.

The VOA gathers information about rents paid for properties. It analyses the information and works out a price per square metre. It may consider things like property age, construction and location. The price per square metre is applied to the floor area of the property.
