Valuation
A valuation list containing the banding of every property is compiled and maintained by the Listing Officer, who is an officer of the Valuation Office Agency of the Inland Revenue.
The value of each property is based on a value that the property might reasonably have been expected to realise if it had been sold in the open market by a willing vendor on 1st April 1991. (This date is called the 'antecedent date'). The value is based on certain assumptions, such as being sold with vacant possession or state of reasonable repair.
There are eight valuation bands with the following values
- A - Property value not exceeding £40,000
- B - Property value exceeding £40,000 but not exceeding £52,000
- C - Property value exceeding £52,000 but not exceeding £68,000
- D - Property value exceeding £68,000 but not exceeding £88,000
- E - Property value exceeding £88,000 but not exceeding £120,000
- F - Property value exceeding £120,000 but not exceeding £160,000
- G - Property value exceeding £160,000 but not exceeding £320,000
- H - Property value exceeding £320,00
An electronic version of this list is available for inspection at our Customer Service Centre, Council Offices, Gernon Road, Letcworth Garden City, Herts.
