Valuation Bands
All domestic properties (houses, bungalows, flats and so on) are
placed in a valuation band according to their open-market
value.
Until 31st March 2005, the valuations used were based on
property values at 1st April 1991. However, from 1st April 2005,
the valuations are based on property values at 1st April 2003 to
reflect the increase in house prices since 1991.
The revaluation has not taken account of the increase in house
prices since April 2003, so your valuation band may be less than
the current open market value of your property.
Valuations are carried out by the Valuation Office, which is
part of the Inland Revenue, and not by the Council. The Valuation
Office for Neath Port Talbot is at:
- Ty Nant
180 High Street
Swansea
SA1 1JR.
Phone: 01792 497700
All properties and their valuation bands are listed in a
Valuation List. You can see copies of the Valuation List at:

You can also check your valuation band on the VOA
website.
New valuation bands were also introduced on 1st April 2005, and
the new bands reflect more up to date house values in Wales. There
is also a new valuation band I for the properties with a value over
£424,000. The new and the old valuation bands are set out
below.
