Is this based on official data?
Yes. We pull live data from the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and compare your band against nearby properties to identify potential overcharges.
What do I get in the challenge pack?
You receive a PDF with a detailed comparison report and a draft challenge letter you can submit directly to the VOA.
How long does the whole process take?
The band lookup is instant. Your challenge pack is generated in minutes. The VOA typically responds to challenges within 2–4 months.
