The VOA's rateable value is its estimate of an appropriate annual rent for a property, assuming the tenant pays the business rates, repairs and insurance. It is not a current market rent or an asking rent: the figures below are averages from the 2023 rating list, whose rateable values are based on rental values at 1 April 2021; the 2026 revaluation replaced on 1 April 2026. Use them to compare towns and property types, then check real asking rents with local agents.
