The Valuation Office Agency has published official statistics around the change in the rateable value of non-domestic properties in England and Wales for the 2026 revaluation on GOV.UK.

These statistics include the number of properties with a Rateable Value of £500,000 and over (Table RVL_3.1, Row 13), and the number of properties within the education sub-sector in this category (Table RVL_SCAT_1_1 Row 1471).
