2005 Rating List Appeals
12 August 2010
The 2005 List closed on 31st March 2010, and no new appeals will now be accepted by the Valuation Office against the 2005 List Complied RV's (those set on 1st April 2005).
There are still opportunities to challenge your 2005 RV, albeit informally rather than by formal appeal.
Mergers or splits may still be applied to the 2005 Rating List and reducing your property's 2005 RV could have a "knock-on" effect on your 2010 RV, creating additional savings in your future years liability.
