Bandplain

England and Wales

Is your council tax band too high?

Check a home for nothing. If the band looks high, a £4.99 pack sets out the evidence in plain English. You send the challenge yourself. We don't take a cut of any refund.

Your address

Enter the postcode and house number or name. We'll look up the official council tax band for that address.

Work since the valuation date

England is valued at 1 April 1991. Wales is valued at 1 April 2003. Later extensions can justify a higher band.

What this will not do

  • It will not tell you the band is too high when an extension could explain it.
  • It will not hide the fact that a challenge can move the band up, and the bill with it.
  • It is not a valuation, and the Valuation Office Agency does not set bands with a house price index.
  • It does not download the valuation list. Bulk disclosure of council tax bands is not allowed.
