The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) groups similar properties together. It gives the group a price range for floor areas and units (such as air conditioning). This helps make rateable values fair and consistent.
Properties in this scheme
The value is applicable to industrial properties built pre 1939 in postcodes HD4, HD5, HD7, HD8 and HD9 but excluding the following locations - Black Rock Mills, Linthwaite; Clarence Mill, Holmebridge; Colne Valley Workshops, Linthwaite; Calder Trading Estate, Huddersfield; Heath House Mill, Golcar; Holme Mills, Marsden; Ingfield Enterprise Centre, Huddersfield; Lee Mills, Scholes; Nortonthorpe Mills, Scissett; Perserverance Mills, Lockwood Scar, Huddersfield; Upper Mills, Slaithwaite; Yorkshire Technology Park, Armytage Road, Huddersfield, Crimble Arches, Slaithwaite and Honley Business Park 1919-1939. It is assumed that properties built before 1971 have an eaves height between 2.5 and 5.5 metres; properties built 1971 onwards have an eaves height between 4.0 and 7.0 metres. The eaves height is not value significant within each of these ranges. The scheme may include mixed age properties where different levels of value may be applied to the different aged buildings. Properties of a quality or character not typical for the scheme may be excluded. Tyre and Exhaust Centres are also excluded from the scheme.
Prices in this scheme
Properties in this scheme have a base rate price range from £13.00 to £50.00 per square metre or unit.
The VOA applies a base rate to individual properties in this scheme. This is the per square metre price for the main floor area in the property.
The VOA may adjust the base rate to take into account what an individual property is like.
Parking
A price for parking is not given separately in this scheme because it is (one of the following):
- already included in the value of the buildings
- not relevant, for example at advertising rights
Property features
Property features with a value of £0 are already reflected in the base rate price per square metre or unit or have been valued elsewhere.
