It’s important to note that when a revaluation is carried out, the total rate revenue that we receive doesn’t change. We don’t make any extra revenue.
A revaluation can change how the rates between properties are allocated. If the value of a property is higher than the average value for other properties, that property receives a higher rate increase compared to the general rate increase for other properties.
However, if the value of a property changes to become less than average, that property receives a lower rate increase compared to the general rate increase for other properties.
