Martin Lewis urges everyone to check their council tax band immediately as you could be owed thousands

Martin Lewis has issued a warning to anyone in the UK who is paying council tax. The founder of Money Saving Expert has urged everyone to check their council tax band as he says up to 400,000 people are in the wrong band.

The financial journalist said this means that many homeowners and tenants aren't paying the right amount for their property, and therefore they could be owed thousands if they are paying much more than they need to.

With council tax bills set to rise by 5 percent for millions from April 1, it's more important than ever to check if your property is in the right band. Martin Lewis has now issued a step by step guide on how to check your band - and how to challenge it if you think it's wrong.
