This requires a little bit of research but can be well worth the effort as you can save anything from £100.00 to £300.00, but be careful as it can backfire on you and you end up paying more. Go to the Valuation Office Agency website (voa.gov.uk) in England and Wales, or the Scottish Assessors Association (saa.gov.uk) to check your council tax band and then that of your neighbours. Make sure the properties resemble each other as closely as possible in size and value. If neighbours in similar properties are in a lower tax band, you might be able to challenge your banding – and that could be backdated to when you moved in to the house. In 1991 when the bands were set, flimsy “drive-by” valuations left many properties in the wrong band.
