NDR Master List —
England & Wales 2026 Rating List

Why this exists
Council data is public.
It's also a mess.
It's also a mess.
Business rates data in England and Wales is published across 222 billing authorities — in inconsistent formats, at different frequencies, with no unified structure. Most teams spend days cleaning and merging files before they can do any actual analysis. We built the dataset that should already exist.
222 authorities, 222 formats
Every council publishes differently. Column names, structures, and update schedules vary with no standard.
No single source of truth
VOA 2026 baseline and council open data exist separately. Cross-referencing requires manual matching work.
Days lost before any analysis begins
Teams spend significant time downloading, cleaning and deduplicating — not on the work itself.

How firms use this
Not just data — operational fuel.
The dataset is designed to slot directly into real business workflows. Here's how firms actually use it.
Targeted prospect lists
Filter by rateable value, region, relief status, and property type to build highly qualified outbound lists.
Business rates appeal work
Identify properties where rateable values changed significantly in the 2026 revaluation — potential appeal candidates.
CRM enrichment
Match existing contacts against the dataset to add rateable value, relief status, and billing authority data.
Regional market intelligence
Analyse commercial property density, RV distribution, and relief patterns across regions and billing authorities.
Lead generation workflows
Power outbound campaigns with structured commercial property data — reducing research time from days to minutes.
Replace manual research
Stop downloading individual council datasets. One source replaces 151 separate data pulls — updated monthly.
Data completeness across key fields
Coverage varies considerably by field. Property addresses are near-complete at 97.3%, but financial and geographic fields show material gaps significant for analytical or policy use.

Many councils publish only partial relief data. A 0% relief figure often indicates the dataset does not include relief columns — not that no reliefs are granted in that authority.
RELIEF DISTRIBUTION
Relief distribution across the dataset
Of 1,057,277 properties, 454,880 (43.0%) carry at least one relief type. The dominant category is Other Reliefs, followed by Small Business Rate Relief.
Other Reliefs
26.2% — 276,605 properties
26.2% — 276,605 properties
Retail, rural, hospitality and leisure reliefs. The largest single category, reflecting expanded targeted relief schemes.
SBRR
12.5% — 131,963 properties
12.5% — 131,963 properties
Small Business Rate Relief. A core entitlement for smaller hereditaments below the RV threshold.
Exemption
5.2% — 55,420 properties
5.2% — 55,420 properties
Properties fully exempt from NDR liability, including agricultural land, places of worship, and certain unoccupied properties.
Mandatory Relief
4.1% — 43,538 properties

Charities and qualifying bodies entitled to at least 80% mandatory relief by statute.
Discretionary Relief
3.0% — 31,330 properties

Granted at council discretion, often topping up mandatory relief for charities or supporting local businesses.
Empty Property

0.9% — 9,505 properties
Void relief recorded. Likely an undercount given the low VOA link rate across several authorities.
