Know the running costs
Council tax band search
Search any UK postcode to see which council you'd pay, the valuation bands that apply there and the yearly cost of every band — then open the official register to confirm the exact band for an address.
How bands work
England and Scotland band homes on their 1 April 1991 value, Wales on 1 April 2003 with an extra Band I. The band never changes with the sale price — but a material change or a successful challenge to the Valuation Office can move it.
