Publications > Property Market Report >Spring 2003

Welcome to the April 2003 Property Market Report, our first web based edition.

If you need to know the value of residential land in Exeter and Edinburgh and office rents in Belfast and Bournemouth the Property Market Report will have the answer.

The report covers all the major sectors of the property market and is based on valuations prepared by our local offices of typical property types or ‘beacons’ that are defined at the beginning of each section of the report. The beacons are valued every six months in light of property transactions recorded, market intelligence and local information obtained and verified by District Valuers.

A feature of the report is that valuations cover a consistent and representative range of property types and are not simply reporting on property actually sold in a given period. A full methodology is given at the end of the report.

Future reports will be available on the web site and will be prepared from 2004 onwards as at January and June, a change from the previous valuation dates of April and October. To maintain continuity over this change over period there will be a limited update in October 2003.

If you require any further information about the report please contact Jenny Budloo at jenny.budloo@voa.gsi.gov.uk or tel 0207 506 1922
