Frequently Asked Questions
Every property in England is assigned a council tax band (A to H) based on its value in April 1991. If the Valuation Office Agency decides a property was placed in the wrong band, they can change it — this is called rebanding. If your band goes down, you’re owed the difference for every year you overpaid.
Yes. If a property you previously lived at has been rebanded (or gets rebanded), you’re entitled to a refund for the period you were the council tax payer. There is no time limit on how far back a refund can go.
Not for our initial check. If a potential issue is found and you want to pursue a claim, your old council tax number helps speed things up — but the council can look you up without it.
We compare your property’s band against every other property in the same postcode. If your band is significantly higher than similar properties nearby, that’s a strong indicator it may be wrong. However, only the Valuation Office Agency can formally change a band.
Our check is completely free. If we connect you with a claims specialist, they typically work on a no-win-no-fee basis — meaning you only pay a percentage of any refund they successfully obtain.
Simple cases where a rebanding has already happened can be resolved in weeks. If a new challenge needs to be submitted to the VOA, it can take 3–6 months.
Yes, this is possible. The VOA can increase your band if they review it and decide the current band is too low. This is why professional advice is valuable before making a challenge.
The VOA has processed over 400,000 band changes since council tax was introduced in 1993. Many experts believe hundreds of thousands more properties remain incorrectly banded.
