In the vast majority of cases agreement can be reached with the District Valuer (DV) as to the correct level of Notional Rent. This is also known as the Current Market Rent (CMR).

However, if it is not possible to reach agreement with the District Valuer then appeal can be made to the Secretary of State. In practice this will be dealt with by the Family Health Service Appeal Unit (FHSAU), which is part of the NHS Litigation Authority.

The Notional Rent Appeal process involves making initial request to the FHSAU for the case to be heard. This is followed by formal written submission (including details of comparable evidence) from both the Doctors agents and the District Valuer. Counter submissions follow and the case is investigated by the appointed independent Valuer, followed by their decision.

As you can appreciate this is a time consuming and lengthy process for all involved with Notional Rent Appeals. It is preferable if the District Valuer is able to reach sensible and realistic agreement. However, if agreement cannot be reached then GP Surveyors will take cases through the appeal process as long as it is felt to be of the greatest benefit to the Doctors…and we will do this for no extra charge!
