Why Arun Properties Are Often Misbanded
Council tax bands in England were set based on property values from 1 April 1991. Since then, Arun has changed significantly. Neighbourhood regeneration, new developments, and shifting property markets mean many valuations no longer reflect reality.
With approximately 73,945 domestic properties in Arun, and national estimates suggesting 1 in 8 are misbanded, around 4,930 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.
