That is not the case. Pausing the revaluation does not mean that the current valuation list should no longer be maintained. The list must be updated as properties are created, altered, demolished, divided or amalgamated. Where a new property is created or an existing property undergoes physical changes such as an extension or improvement, LPS must consider whether that property's valuation should be updated. That is normal valuation list maintenance, and the work is carried out across all sectors. Since the decision to pause Reval2026, LPS has completed more than 7,100 valuation cases, fewer than 100 of which relate to hotels and licensed premises.
Almost 60% of those cases arose from applications or challenges by ratepayers.
