Below you will find the answer to the question:
Why does a neighbouring guest house have a lower rateable value when they have more rooms available?
Answer:
The rateable value we set is based on the location and facilities available at each individual property.
Factors that can affect the double bed unit value of a property include:
- Types of room (single/twin/double/family)
- En-suite facilities for each room
- Accessibility from the street
- Car parking facilities
- Type of heating
For example, a guest house at one end of a terrace may have more letting rooms because it has more single bedrooms without en-suite facilities.
