Details
This release contains statistics relating to business floorspace for England and Wales as at 31 March 2026. Floorspace statistics were previously published as part of the stock of properties release. In 2024 we published a quality assurance of administrative data report alongside a public consultation into the use of floorspace statistics. In 2025, these statistics were updated to reflect feedback received from the consultation.
The data contained in this report are a subset of the total stock of rateable properties. Further details of properties included and excluded from the statistics, can be found in the background information note. This also includes details of other methodological differences to floorspace statistics prior to 2025, including the use of a different variable to measure total floorspace.
The statistics provide information on floorspace and rateable value per metre squared, broken down by sector and geographic location.
