01 The council-tax angle

Prices moved. Bands didn't.

Council tax bands in England and Wales are still pinned to 1991 values, but the chart above shows how much prices have moved since. When an area's prices shift unevenly, homes can end up in the wrong band relative to their neighbours — and that's exactly what a challenge corrects. Prices here are aggregate open data; whether your band is wrong is what the free address check answers.
