Details

Most residential properties (dwellings) are owned directly by individuals. But in some cases a dwelling may be owned by a company (or other collective investment vehicle).

In these circumstances the dwelling is said to be ‘enveloped’ because the ownership sits within a corporate ‘wrapper’ or ‘envelope’.

Companies must revalue their property every 5 years in line with ATED legislation. The 2023 to 2024 chargeable period is a revaluation year. Companies must use the valuation date of 1 April 2022 or the date of acquisition if later, to revalue their properties.
