This third edition brings the reader up to date with the changes for the 2010 Rating Revaluation, developments in case law, the new appeals regulations and current approaches to valuing many classes of hereditament, as well as highlighting the differences between cases in England and Wales.

The book is well illustrated with example valuations showing both methods of valuation and the variety of property surveyors come across in practice.
