Our Work
Opportunities are currently available to join the High Value Council Tax Surcharge (HVCTS) Project Team in the Valuation Office Agency.
HVCTS is a new tax that was announced by the Chancellor in her 2025 Autumn Budget. The team will be undertaking a targeted revaluation and banding exercise of domestic properties with a market value of £2 million and over that will underpin this new tax.
The team will be utilising a modern model assisted valuation approach, including valuer-led valuations. This is an exciting opportunity for talented people with relevant knowledge, experience and skills to join the team.
We are eager to hear from a wide range of people including those of you who are:
- Experienced residential property valuers looking to develop their professional expertise.
- At a point in your career where you need to work more flexibly or part-time to accommodate your home responsibilities or stage in life.
- Considering switching careers from, for example, Estate Agency or Mortgage Valuation work.
Applicants are welcomed from a diverse range of backgrounds to join our organisation as this enables us to be representative of the communities that we serve.
Role Overview
As an experienced residential property valuer, you’ll be responsible for valuing high value residential properties. You will be expected to use your knowledge in property valuation to make evidence-based decisions.
As well as having the relevant experience, you would be expected to develop the necessary skills in the use of digital tools and the capturing of data to employ the latest valuation techniques.
The role holder will work alongside other caseworkers and mass appraisal surveyors supporting data improvement, valuation review (both on mass and individually) and identifying properties and areas for further investigation.
In addition to reviewing model assisted valuations you will be required to undertake more traditional valuer-led valuations.
Key responsibilities
- Undertaking location and site visits, including the inspection and measurement of properties as necessary.
- Identifying and valuing high value residential properties.
- Assessing large volumes of residential valuations produced using a model assisted valuation approach.
- Support the understanding of the valuation methods, by clearly articulating value significant factors and tailoring communication to the audience including colleagues and stakeholders.
- As part of a multi-skilled team, working with colleagues from different specialisms, including data analysis and surveying, conveying your ideas and insight and establishing a common understanding.
- Undertake research into the high value residential market and use these insights to improve our property data and valuation techniques.
