Why Hull Properties Are Often Misbanded
Council tax bands in England were set based on property values from 1 April 1991. Since then, Hull has changed significantly. Neighbourhood regeneration, new developments, and shifting property markets mean many valuations no longer reflect reality.
With approximately 116,900 domestic properties in Hull, and national estimates suggesting 1 in 8 are misbanded, around 7,793 homes could be paying the wrong amount. If you're one of them, you could claim a refund backdated to 1993 — potentially worth thousands of pounds.
