Valuation Office Agency Data _HOT

The rating list and summary valution data is provided for the 2023, 2017 and 2010 list years, with the 2023 list being the live list as of 1 April 2023. Our epochs provide a snapshot of our rating lists and summary valuation data as at the end of a specific day. Rating lists change over their lifetime. List entries that are no longer shown in the current rating list are available in a separate file named "historic entries" (starting from epoch version "0002"). The files containing current and historic entries are included in the same compressed file download.

We intend to continue providing refreshed epoch datasets periodically. In between epochs we provide smaller "change update" files weekly. Change update files can be applied to the most recent epoch to produce an up to date version of the rating list and corresponding summary valuation data. The updates also explain changes and how they have been carried out.

The Property Details dataset was introduced in the 1970s and was originally known as the Dwelling House Coding guide. Its original purpose was to provide a simple system for understanding the main features and attributes of a property. VOA datasets do not contain information about individuals or households1. The information VOA collects and holds about domestic properties supports statutory functions for valuation and maintenance of Council Tax lists under the Local Government Finance Act 1992. It's the statutory requirement of VOA to maintain accurate valuation lists for Council Tax and every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the data. However, VOA only collects data needed to place an accurate band on the property.

Property attribute data are only updated where information comes to VOA's attention that a valuation list entry might be inaccurate. Considerable reliance is placed upon local authorities to notify VOA of any changes (including new builds, demolitions or alterations). There can be some variability in this process and lists are only updated when new information has been brought to VOA's attention. Therefore, there are some records in the list that will not have been updated as regularly as others.

The VOA treats property information as personal data and access is restricted to those who need to use it. As an executive agency of HMRC, the agency is governed under the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005, which restricts access to the data.

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is an executive agency of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). It has been responsible for banding properties for Council Tax in England and Wales since the tax was first introduced in 1993. The VOA property attribute data extract provided to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) currently contains approximately 26 million records. More information about the VOA data can be found in the source overview.

It is a requirement of VOA to maintain accurate valuation lists for Council Tax under the Local Government Finance Act 1992. VOA must also update information that is held on the taxpayers when in contact with them because of the Data Protection Act 1998 requirement. VOA makes every effort to comply and ensure the data are accurate.

Historically the main data collection method was through inspection and was stored as paper records. The data were transferred from the paper records to electronic storage as the central database in the early 2000s in preparation for revaluation in England and Wales2. The central database is where all the information collected is now stored and specific data can be extracted and updated.

The initial data collection and triggers to collect new data or update existing data are fully covered in Section 5. An important trigger for updating the property attributes for the valuation list is notifications in the form of Billing Authority reports. Billing Authority reports cover different types of changes including:

In 1992-93 the VOA put data on 1.3 million hereditaments in the four 'bulk classes' - shops, offices, factories and warehouses - onto a computer database called the Valuation Support Application (VSA), since renamed the Rating Support Application (RSA). A full description of these valuation data, with a selection of analyses, is given in Bruhns (2000). Some more analyses are published in Pout et al (1998). The Rating List and the VSA provide the data 'spine' around which a comprehensive database of the non-domestic building stock can be structured. They give accurate floor areas for the majority of premises in the country. They can be enhanced and extended with national floor area data on buildings outside the four 'bulk classes' (see 'activities'), with inferences about built form and construction based on the four towns data (see '4 towns' and 'NDBS model'), and with inferences about fuel use on the basis of energy audits made by the Sheffield Hallam University team (see 'energy surveys').

The original aim of the project was to improve the energy efficiency data underpinning the evidence for Welsh strategies and policies relating to housing and in turn create a complete picture of the energy efficiency profile for all homes in Wales. The Campus attempted to predict energy efficiency at the most granular level. Individual property results allow policy makers to review the data by any feature and therefore identify which types of properties need attention, in order to improve against targets. However, for evaluation purposes a technique which considers an aggregated level such as Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) could be enough.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) data used to produce the London Rents Map is based on market rents from private rented sector lettings by the Valuation Office Agency. Landlords, agents and tenants across England contribute this information. It is mainly used to help Rent Officers provide valuations for Housing Benefit purposes and Rent Act 1977 Fair Rent registrations. Rent Officers continuously evaluate and refresh lettings data to provide a representative sample of the private rented sector, and track the market.

This data sets out information on the size and shape of England's Broad Rental Market Areas (BRMAs). The information comes from the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and is available online at -office-agency 2351a5e196
