Money expert Martin Lewis issues warning to anyone who bought their house before 1991


The Money Saving Expert has issued a warning to all homeowners across the UK who are looking to challenge their council tax band as it could backfire on them

Money-saving guru Martin Lewis is sounding the alarm to UK households that they could be due for a hefty council tax refund. Despite his long-standing efforts to raise awareness, property valuations for council tax purposes have remained static since 1991 across England and Scotland. However, Martin issues a note of caution for those who snagged their properties pre-1991; they must retroactively figure out their home's value in 1991 terms before challenging their tax band – it could end in tears otherwise.
