The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) does not hold information on which domestic properties have gardens. While the VOA used to have value significant codes (VSCs) relating to gardens, this data is no longer collected. While the VOA holds some data on plot sizes for domestic properties, this data is not complete, as it is no longer routinely collected, and cannot be used to determine whether a property has a garden.
