Start a Challenge and upload your pack

This is where your evidence pack does its job. GOV.UK asks for your reason, your evidence, a supporting statement and a proposed rateable value.

  1. 1

    Open the property, select its current valuation, open the “Checks” tab and choose “Start a challenge”.

  2. 2

    Choose the reason: the valuation is wrong.

  3. 3

    Upload your evidence: the evidence pack PDF, plus any photos and rent documents you have. All evidence must go in together.

  4. 4

    Enter your proposed rateable value (page 1 of your pack) and the effective date.

  5. 5

    Upload your supporting statement: the separate signed statement file from your case page.

  6. 6

    Review everything and submit before your deadline.
