Comparable properties

Similar homes near you, ideally on the same street, used as evidence in a band challenge.

The strongest evidence in a band challenge is that identical or near-identical homes nearby are banded lower than yours. Comparables should match on property type, age, size, and layout. The VOA gives most weight to same-street comparables and least to properties in a different postcode district.

Check your own band

The fastest way to see if your band is wrong is the neighbours test. Enter your postcode and compare every band on your street.
