In 1991 when the Poll Tax turned into Council Tax, based upon the value of the Property on the open market. The Government department concerned passed on the responsibility of the valuation of each and every household or property to local estate agents to make sure all households were on the correct Council Tax Band.

However, the estate agents were only given a short amount of time to achieve this. Less than efficient estimation procedures were put in place due to the short deadlines and the estate agents were left to drive past streets and estimate the value of each separate property. This did not consider variations along the same road or street. While some properties looked the same, there were differences in the number of bedrooms, amenities, gardens and extensions, all of which would affect their value/price. Due to this, it is now estimated that 700,000 households were wrongly placed onto a more expensive band which means some households have been overpaying Council Tax for up to 30 years. Even newer properties built after 1991 can be placed in the incorrect Council Tax Band.

Are you paying too much council tax?

Customers may submit applications directly through official government channels free of charge. Alternatively, customers may choose our paid administrative support service, where we assist with the preparation, administration and submission process on their behalf. Thousands have tried and succeeded, and pay-outs in the £1,000s, are common. Our company will carry out the checks for you and ensure that all the necessary information required is presented on your behalf to the correct Government department (The Valuation Office Agency, part of HMRC.)

How much can you expect to get?

It is well worth asking: "What Council Tax band am I in?"

Get your banding decreased and, as well as paying between £100 and £400 less each year, the repayment would be backdated to when you moved into the property – as far back as when the Council Band Tax started in 1993

Could council tax rebanding help you?

Do you know if you are paying too much Council Tax each year?

Each property, whether it is a house or flat, is placed into a Council Tax band which determines the level of Council Tax charged.

Council Tax Bands are a matter of public record. You can check the banding for your home, and in fact, any address you like, and apply for Council Tax re-banding. This could be quite complicated for you.
