Each domestic dwelling is placed in a valuation band (A-H).  The Band of your property is the assumed market value as at 1 April 1991 and is determined by the Valuation Office, an executive agency of HM Revenues and Customs.  You can check the valuation band of any property by visiting the Valuation Office website.
