ATED Valuation


Why do I need an ATED valuation?


Your property’s value determines how much ATED you’ll pay annually for the next five years. After five years, you’ll require another valuation to comply with the law. If you haven’t had your property professionally valued since 2013, you’ll need a RICS valuation to calculate your ATED fees for the 2018 tax year. Fortunately, complying with the law isn’t the only benefit of an ATED valuation.

Annual tax on enveloped dwellings (ATED) Valuation explained

If your company owns residential property valued at over £500,000 in London, you’ll likely need to pay Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings. Failure to submit your ATED return could result in a penalty, and you must obtain an accurate property valuation every five years to calculate how much tax you owe. Fortunately, our RICS registered valuers can help you reduce your tax bill, comply with the law and avoid making punishable errors when submitting your ATED returns.

The government levies ATED on properties that fall under the ‘dwellings’ category, which means any property that can be partly or entirely used for residential purposes.

Properties that aren’t classified as dwellings under the ATED scheme include:

  • Guest houses
  • Hotels
  • Hospitals
  • Boarding school accommodation
  • Military accommodation
  • Student halls
  • Prisons
  • Care homes

In April 2016, the ATED scheme was updated to include any dwelling valued at over £500,000 and owned by a company, in partnership with a company or under a collective investment scheme. If you think your property’s value may exceed £500,000, you need a market valuation from a RICS registered valuer.
