    Rating Valuation: Principles and Practice has long been the standard go-to guide for both students studying rating valuation and practitioners needing a comprehensive reference book covering rating law, valuation and, importantly, practice. This fourth edition brings the reader up to date with the changes for the 2017 Rating Revaluation, including the new Check, Challenge and Appeal procedures, and developments in case law, as well as highlights the differences between the law in England and Wales. A comprehensive chapter on Northern Ireland rating has been added to this edition. 

    Starting with the basics, the book goes on to provide more in-depth detail for advanced readers, using clear, accessible and engaging analysis and example valuations throughout to break down what many see as a complex subject. Whether you are studying to pass your APC, or just want an overview of the changes taken in by the latest revaluation, Rating Valuation: Principles and Practice will give you all you need to understand rating valuation.
