You can appeal if you think your rateable value is higher than comparable properties. You will need to provide reasons why you think this is the case.

A comparable property might be similar in size, use, location or quality to your own. For example, if you are a retailer in a high street, a comparable property could be another retailer, around the same size, in the same street.

There are several reasons why your rateable value may be higher than a comparable or neighbouring property. These include:

• The size, location and characteristics of the property
• If there is any car parking on the premises
• Some types of use have a higher value than others: for example, retail, office or showroom areas within a property may be expected to have a higher value than basic storage space.

Do we have the right details for your property?
