Housing Act 1985

Ascertainment of gross value of house E+W

8 Subject to the following provisions, the gross value of a house for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule is its gross value for rating purposes as shown in the valuation list on the date when the control order comes into force.

9 (1) If the house forms part only of a hereditament, the gross value of the house is such proportion of the gross value shown in the valuation list for that hereditament as may be agreed in writing between the local housing authority and the person claiming compensation.

(2) If any dispute arises under sub-paragraph (1), the authority or the person claiming compensation may by means of a reference in writing submit the dispute for decision by the district valuer.

10 If the house consists or forms part of more than one hereditament, the gross value shall be ascertained by determining the gross value of each hereditament or part as if it were a separate house and aggregating the gross values so determined.

11 (1) The gross value of a hereditament whose rateable value is by virtue of subsection (1) of section 19 of the M1 General Rate Act 1967 to be taken to be its net annual value ascertained in accordance with subsections (2) to (4) of that section shall be taken to be its corresponding gross value, that is to say, the gross value which would be equivalent to the net annual value shown in the valuation list if there were deducted any amounts which by virtue of an order made or falling to be treated as made under section 19(2) of the General Rate Act 1967 would be deducted from the gross value of the hereditament if it had been required to be assessed to its gross value instead of its net annual value.

(2) If more than one value is so ascertained to be the corresponding gross value, the highest value so ascertained shall be taken.
