Improvement Relief
You might get improvement relief if you make certain improvements to your property. If you’re eligible, you’ll get the relief for one year. It starts from when you complete your improvements.
Eligibility
Any improvements you make must:
- increase the ‘rateable value’ of your property
- be completed on or after 1 April 2025
They must also either:
- increase the size of your property
- add new features or equipment to your property, such as heating, air conditioning or CCTV
Any improvements to existing features or equipment do not qualify.
You must have occupied the property during and after the improvement works to get improvement relief. You cannot pass on your improvement relief to anybody else.
