Why Wiltshire Properties Are Often Misbanded
Council tax bands in England were set based on property values from 1 April 1991. Since then, Wiltshire has changed significantly. Neighbourhood regeneration, new developments, and shifting property markets mean many valuations no longer reflect reality.
With approximately 229,680 domestic properties in Wiltshire, and national estimates suggesting 1 in 8 are misbanded, around 15,312 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.
