Description
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 fifth edition brings the reader up to date with the changes for the 2023 Rating Revaluation and developments in case law, as well as highlighting the differences between the law in England and Wales.
