one-off

One price.
No subscription.
No hidden “success” fee.

Some band-challenge services take 25–30% of your backdated refund — that can be £300+ on a successful claim. We charge a flat fee. You keep every penny of the refund.

What you get

One email in your inbox. Editor-considered.

It arrives within a minute or two of paying, with the form and case report attached and links to everything else. Written so the Valuation Office Agency reads it the way it expects to. Plain English, no marketing fluff.

Sample letter

The email we'd write for you.

Your letter is the part the Valuation Office reads first. This is the email we wrote for a strong case, for an invented home, with the nearby homes and their recorded details written in. Yours is written the same way, around your home.

Why £39 and not £0

Why we’re not free.

MoneySavingExpert is the gold-standard free guide to this — we recommend reading it.

We charge £39 because we save you the 4–6 hours of finding genuinely comparable homes nearby, writing the letter so it doesn’t read like a template, setting out the evidence the way the Valuation Office Agency expects it, filling in the form, and drafting the follow-ups for the months that follow.

If you have the time and the patience, you don’t need us — and we’ll be the first to tell you that.

We genuinely think MSE is great. If you’ve got the time and patience, use it — we’d rather you saved the £39.
The £0 promise

Three reasons spending £39 here is low-risk.

01

You only buy after a free check.

We never ask for card details before you’ve seen your score. If the case isn’t worth pursuing, you’ll know — and we won’t take your money for it.

02

If your case is weak, we’ll tell you to walk away.

Strong and Moderate are the only verdicts our engine recommends a challenge on. Don’t Pursue is exactly what it sounds like.

03

14-day no-questions refund.

Reply to your delivery email within 14 days for any reason and we’ll refund in full. No outcome dependency, no quibbles.

What this is NOT

Plain about what we don’t do.

Honesty is the product. If a competing service tells you otherwise on any of these, that’s your cue.

Not a subscription.

£39 is one-off. We never charge you again. No renewal, no auto-debit, no follow-up sales.

No success fee.

We don't take a slice of your backdated refund. The flat fee is everything you pay us, forever.

Not a regulated tax service.

We don't submit on your behalf — you sign and send. That's deliberate: it keeps us out of regulated territory, and it keeps the signature where it belongs.

Not affiliated with HMRC or the VOA.

We use their published data; we are independent. If a service promises insider relationships at the VOA, walk away.
