VOA Valuation Rule

In SW2 (Lambeth), every home's Council Tax band is legally determined by what the property would have sold for on 1 April 1991 (or 1 April 2003 in Wales). Because the original 1991 mass appraisal was conducted rapidly, valuation discrepancies frequently exist between adjacent identical properties.
