Being assessed for Co. Council Rates - How is it calculated?

[Claire1956]

We are being assessed for Rates. This is new to us. We are wondering how is it calculated please? I have looked at the Valuation Office website and found it to be vague. The letter we recieved has four bullet points of what we need to do 'aid' the Valuation Office. Naturally this riles me a bit, don't they do their own donkey work?? Maybe I am missing a point and it is to my benefit to action this items.

If anyone can shed light on this, that would be great. Thanks

What are the four bullet points they want answered?
