Why Melton Properties Are Often Misbanded
Council tax bands in England were set based on property values from 1 April 1991. Since then, Melton has changed significantly. Neighbourhood regeneration, new developments, and shifting property markets mean many valuations no longer reflect reality.
With approximately 23,044 domestic properties in Melton, and national estimates suggesting 1 in 8 are misbanded, around 1,536 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.
