Claim your property to manage your valuation
Make sure you have claimed your property in your business rates valuation account.
Commercial property valuations are changing later this year.
If you want to see the details of your new valuation, you will need to:
- have a business rates valuation account
- link your property so it shows in your account
Once you have linked your property, you can use your business rates valuation account to:
- check the details we hold
- let us know if something is wrong
- see how your property’s valuation was worked out
Get your business rates valuation account today and claim your property.
You will need to provide proof of your relationship to the property. This could be a copy of the business rates or utility bill.
Some valuation information is confidential, so we need to know you have a right to see it.
It may take up to 15 working days for your property claim to be approved.
Watch our video on how to claim your property for business rates. We also have guidance on GOV.UK on adding your property to your account.
Business rates are based on the ‘rateable value’ of your property.
Every three years, the Valuation Office Agency updates the rateable values of all business properties in England and Wales to reflect changes in the property market. This is called a ‘revaluation’.
The next revaluation is scheduled to come into effect on 1 April 2026, based on the open market rental value of a property on 1 April 2024.
You can also use your business rates valuation account to tell the VOA if you believe your current property valuation is incorrect. But you must do this by 31 March 2026.
