Listings
To assemble the sequence of historic entries for a property, you should find all historic entries sharing the
same UARN and sort them into ascending List Alteration Date. Entries that are alterations have Historic
From and To Dates. Entries that revise alterations will not. You can then add the current entry for the same
UARN to complete the entire sequence of list entries for any given property in our 2017 rating list.
Ratings List Details

Used in the extraction Queries as the main source of the Assessment Reference … i.e. if it does not exist here, you should not find it else where
Current List
Rating lists change over their lifetime. On any current day a list will show entries for each unit of property,
(hereditament), meeting specific conditions with effect from the last material change of circumstances, or a
later prescribed date. Each time we issue a new current list epoch we are providing the rating list as it was
as at the end of a specific day.
History List
List entries that are no longer shown in the current rating list are available in a separate file named “historic
entries”. The files containing current and historic entries are included in the same download. Together, they
provide the full sequence of entries and revised entries for any given property by UARN.

Summary Line Items
Summary valuations data is comprised of seven types of records:
01 Related list entry … See Listings Above
02 Line items (multi line)
03 Additional items (multi line)
04 Plant and machinery
05 Car parking
06 Adjustments (multi line)
07 Adjustments totals
The first record type (01) enables the other 6 record types to be related to the rateable value of a list entry.
The remaining 6 record types (02 to 07) provide the parts of our valuation which make up the whole.
Items belonging to these 6 record types include references to the survey item valued, the price applied and
the total.
Record types 02 to 05 can be aggregated to form a basic valuation of the property. Record type 06 provides
a list of percentage adjustments and reasons why. Record type 07 shows the result of applying the
adjustments of record type 06 and should equal the value shown as item 19 in record type 01. After
rounding, the final rateable value is shown in item 20 of record type 01.
The technical arrangement of the summary valuation data is as follows:
- Fields are in the exact order in which they are listed in this file specification.
- Records are broken down into Types. Each Type represents a different part of the record.
- Each record will begin with Type ‘01’ data
- For each record type ‘01’, there is one or more record type ‘02’s containing Survey Line Item data.
- There may be zero or more of record types ’03’ and ’06’.
- There may be zero or one of record types ’04’ and ’05’.
- If a record type ’06’ exists, there will be one record type ’07’
- The end of a record is only indicated by the next row of Type ‘01’ data or the end of the file.
- The file contains summary valuations for both current and historic entries.
