[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7093004, member: 4505"] I had a very interesting chat with a ratings valuer many years ago. The discussion revolved around the valuation of my house + garage and the valuation of my house without the garage. The surveyor claimed that I had a garage. I claimed that I did not have a garage. What he wanted to call a garage was in fact a neep shed. If I used it to house my car, where would I put my neeps? I eventually won but it was all good humoured and a dram or two of a local beverage loosened his tongue. Apparently, he had grossly over valued a local hotel and to his amazement the owner had not challenged his valuation. That, apparently, had made his day. Thereby hangs a moral. A valuation is merely an opinion. An opinion based on evidence. Show that there is no demand for hard standing locally and no one would pay a rent for it and the rateable value is nil. Q.E.D. Sadly, the local valuation officer will produce evidence to show that it does have a value so it is up to the OP to prove him wrong. [/QUOTE]
