Practice Note 18

REVALUATION 2005

Valuation of Licensed Clubs

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This practice note deals with subjects which are entities in themselves and are registered as a Licensed Club.

The subjects will be identified by the presence of bar "facilities" and may also contain kitchen, toilet and perhaps some ancillary dual purpose accommodation as the day to day running may be carried out by club members. The more extensive subjects could contain a number of Bars, Committee Rooms, Boardroom, Offices, Function Hall, Games Room and possibly a Quiet Room.

Typical examples of these are listed below ;

  1. British Legion Club
  2. Football Supporters Club
  3. Knights of St Columba and Hibernian Club
  4. Masonic Lodge
  5. Miners Welfare and Social Club
  6. Political Constituency Club
  7. Snooker Club
  8. Sports Club (without ancillary sporting facility)
  9. Workers Social Club

2.0 BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation of Licensed Clubs is on the Comparative Basis. Valuers should use discretion in determining whether or not to make an addition to the value to reflect the commercial nature of any club.

3.0 RECOMMENDED RATES

In the absence of local evidence, the Recommended Rates as detailed below, which exclude car parking, should be applied to the Gross External Area of the property.
