It is possible to make an appeal to merge two or more separate properties into one. For example, if two shops are knocked together to make one. When properties are merged like this, we will calculate a new rateable value for the merged property.

To make a ‘merged appeal’, you need to use Agent mode, as this is a more complex type of appeal.

1. Search for the properties you want to merge.
2. When the results appear, click on the green + button next to each listing to add properties to the Comparison list at the top right of the screen.
3. Tick each property to merge in the Comparison list.
4. Click on Appeal.
5. Select the option I would like to make an appeal to merge these separate valuations into one.
6. Complete the rest of the appeal process as usual and submit the appeal.

It is not currently possible to make an online appeal to split a single property into multiple ones. If you need to do this, you can download the appeal form and return it to your local valuation office.
