If you have a genuine concern that your home may be in the wrong band, you should contact your Local Valuation Office. They will ask you to explain the reasons why you think your band is wrong, before confirming the details of your property. They will then check that your band is in line with other, similar properties in the neighbourhood, taking any points you raise into consideration
The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is committed to ensuring that all homes are in the correct council tax band. Their website www.voa.gov.uk contains further information on the appeals process
