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.

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 you pay

Free check

£0

The band, the official range for that band, a picture of nearby bands, and a verdict. No email required.

Evidence pack

£4.99

Up to five comparable homes, a rough base-date value, challenge text, and a PDF.

Appeal guide

£9.99

Everything in the evidence pack, plus a Valuation Tribunal guide and deadline reminders.

Run the free check first. We only offer a pack when the band comes from a real lookup in our sample, not a placeholder. Why not use a claims firm?

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.
