Rented Property Lists

Scottish Assessors are committed to providing more transparency and consistency to the work they do.

The Non-Domestic Rates (Valuation Notices) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 require that Assessors provide the addresses of rented properties which were taken into account in determining the basic valuation rate for subjects that are:-

• valued by comparison with other rented properties, and
• sit within the categories of property listed below:-

Banks	Department stores	Health centres	Shootings
Building societies	Depot warehouses	Indoor bowling stadiums	Shops
Car showrooms	Distribution warehouses	Large shops	Sports clubhouses
Casinos	Factories	Offices	Stores
Clinics	Factory outlet centres	Pavilions	Supermarkets
Computer centres	Fitness centres	Primary care centres	Ten pin bowling alleys
Day nurseries	Golf courses	Private health clubs	Warehouses
Deer forests	Golf driving ranges	Retail warehouses	Workshops

 

To find out if a Rented Property List is available for the property you are interested in take the following steps.

1. From the SA Portal Home Page, or from the individual Assessor’s Home Page, use the ‘Search for a Rateable Value’ facility to find a particular property.
2. Proceed to click on the ‘Ref No.’ hyperlink or the ‘View More’ button for the property you are interested in.
3. A row of tabs is located at the top and by default you will be shown the ‘Current Value’ details.
4. If a rented property list is available for the property, a ‘View Rented Property List’ button will be displayed below the Rateable Value. If this is displayed, click on the button to view the rented property list.

If a ‘View Rented Property List’ button is not displayed, then a rented property list is not available online for that property, probably because the valuation is not based on a rate/m² basis and/or is not derived from analysis of rents of comparable properties. It may, for instance, be valued with reference to the trade of the property or the costs of constructing an equivalent property.
