April's Discussion: The Triple List Maintenance Conundrum
With 3 year revals, rating advisors must now be mindful of 3 Lists – the tail end of the 2017, the current one and the forthcoming 2026 List. How will the 2024 valuations fair when considering the proximity of the 3 Lists, the outstanding challenges and appeals from the previous ones? When do advisors challenge and on which List?
2023/2024 have seen an absence of significant number of cases going to the Valuation and Upper Tribunal, though workloads have been intense by check or challenges from the closing down of the 2017 List. Will there now be an approaching Appeals spike?
There have been work spikes in the past, but this is disruption on a scale never experienced and onlookers may say is unsustainable.
How do practitioners manage properties and clients?
