2024 AVD: The Triple List Maintenance Conundrum

Why is the 2024 AVD different from all other AVDs? 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, whose AVD falls on the 1 April 2024. How will the 2024 valuations fair when considering the proximity of the 3 Lists, and the outstanding challenges and appeals from the previous ones? And when do advisors challenge; and on which List? This programme seeks to assist practitioners navigate the 3 dimensional conundrum. If you are involved in rating work, this is an event you cannot afford to miss.

Already, we have seen work spikes brought about by check or challenges from the closing down of the 2017 List, which may have delayed the checks for the 2023 List.  Appeals will be the next spike, and since the tone of the List responds to key Tribunal decisions, advisors may need to revisit assessments. 

How do practitioners manage properties and clients; and what are their options? 

The right time to challenge a client’s rating assessment may vary according to;

  • What is happening in the market
  • Re-evaluating properties as a result of Tribunal decisions and ongoing settlements
  • What are the rules imposed in relation to the 3 lists
