Why Liverpool Properties Are Often Misbanded
Council tax bands in England were set based on property values from 1 April 1991. Since then, Liverpool has changed significantly. Neighbourhood regeneration, new developments, and shifting property markets mean many valuations no longer reflect reality.
With approximately 218,745 domestic properties in Liverpool, and national estimates suggesting 1 in 8 are misbanded, around 14,583 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.
