Simplified sample valuation. Numerical differences shown without assuming a cause.
LESS ASSEMBLING. MORE ASSESSING.
The whole instruction.
Not another isolated spreadsheet.
Rating work crosses lists, properties, clients and years. Rating Radar brings the information and the workflow into one place, so the next action is easier to see.
01 / DISCOVER
Start with the change.
Find the context.
Search by address, postcode or reference. Compare 2023 and 2026 values, filter by property description and investigate the changes that deserve your attention.
- List-on-list £ and percentage movements
- Filters to narrow the properties you review
- Watchlists and selected-row exports
02 / UNDERSTAND
A valuation you can
actually interrogate.
Open the summary valuation, follow the scheme and compare the price used. Keep numerical differences visible without inventing a reason for them.
- Valuation lines, additions and published totals
- Scheme members and price comparisons
- Annual liability and proposed-RV scenarios
Four fictional members. Unweighted median; same measurement basis. Difference is context, not a conclusion.
03 / MANAGE
One client.
The whole picture.
Bring the portfolio together across both lists. See total rateable value, estimated liabilities by year and the work attached to each property—without rebuilding the picture every time.
Open the sample Client HubIllustration only: RV × 0.50 × 3 years. Not actual multipliers or a rates bill.
04 / PREPARE & TRACK
Give every appeal
a clear next step.
Prepare structured Check and Challenge drafts from the assessment. Keep the proposed RV, evidence and case information together, then track submitted work and the relevant dates.
- Separate Check and Challenge preparation
- Property facts carried into the document workflow
- Submission references, progress and diary prompts
Professional review remains essential. Recording an appeal is not a submission to the VOA.

Good work deserves
a visible fee.
Model the saving, apply the instruction’s fee percentage and see your share. Group the forecast by billing year so the commercial picture stays connected to the work.
- Current and proposed liability comparisons
- Instruction fee terms and personal fee share
- Calendar-year forecasts and spreadsheet exports
- Illustrative liability saving
- £48,000
- Instruction fee

ONE FICTIONAL PROPERTY. THE WHOLE WORKFLOW.
Alder House, from change to fee.
The point is not six separate tools. It is one connected instruction, with the context carried forward.
- 01 / DISCOVER
Spot the change
£240,000 → £312,000A 30% increase between the 2023 and 2026 Rating Lists. A reason to investigate—not evidence of an error.

Inspect the valuation
600 m² × £520The fictional office assessment totals £312,000. Its price is at the scheme median; context is visible without inventing a cause.

Follow the work ↗ - 05 / CALCULATE
Make the saving explicit
£48,000 estimated saving(£312,000 − £280,000) × 0.50 × 3 years. This deliberately simplified fictional factor demonstrates the calculation—not an actual rates bill.
- 06 / FORECAST
Connect work to revenue
£9,600 estimated fee£48,000 × 20% instruction fee. At a 30% personal share, the surveyor forecasts £2,880. An estimate, not an invoice or secured saving.

A few things worth knowing.
Is this the full product?
These integrated previews demonstrate the product using fictional examples. The separate interactive demo lets you explore more of the workflow. Neither is the national database or a secure workspace for real client records.
Can I use it for client work today?
No. This is a shipped portfolio demo using fictional data, not a production service for client work. Please do not enter real client information.
What does the AI do?
AI assisted the development of Rating Radar. Search, valuation comparisons and the public demo calculations are deterministic; they do not rely on paid AI calls. Automatic floor-plan measurement is a research idea, not an available feature.
Does Rating Radar submit appeals for me?
No live submission integration is offered here. Drafts and diary prompts support a surveyor’s work; they do not replace professional review, the applicable rules or the authority’s submission process.

Chartered surveyor → product builder.
Designed and built Rating Radar from concept through to deployed interactive demo using AI-assisted development.
The workflow comes from first-hand understanding of Rating work: connect fragmented information, make the next action clear and keep the commercial outcome visible.
