How to X-Ray an office rateable value

Offices are usually well suited to an evidence-first screen because rental comparison, floor area and £/m² can all be informative when used carefully.

Property facts to verify

Check the recorded floor area, floor levels, use and relevant amenities or features. Official guidance for office Checks should be your factual baseline.

Comparison questions
