Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, through what mechanisms and systems will the Valuation Office Agency revalue dwellings for the new council tax surcharge.

The Valuation Office Agency are developing their approach to the targeted valuation and will set out more details in due course, following the outcome of the Government's consultation.

In general, when valuing domestic properties, the VOA uses modern technology and industry standard techniques combined with freely available information including sales data, property attribute details and government records.
