Rating Valuation Principles into Practice

Since its publication this book has become the standard for both students studying for their examinations and practitioners needing a comprehensive textbook covering rating law, valuation and, importantly, practice. The second edition brings the reader up to date with the changes for the 2005 rating revaluation including:

• the new 2005 appeals regulations including the requirements for valid proposals
• the changes to the material day rules
• new valuation dates
• transitional relief changes
• small business relief

Many new and recent cases are added and additional material has been included covering new topics such as temporary disabilities. Sections such as disrepair have additionally been expanded.

The book is well illustrated with example valuations showing both methods of valuation and also the variety of property surveyors come across in practice.

The authors have extensive experience in the subject and regularly lecture on rating, valuation and taxation matters
