Why buyers care

Listings often bury the band. The report puts band, authority and estimated annual bill up front, then adds a simple monthly running-cost view so partners can compare two houses on more than price.

Parish precepts and exact insurer quotes can differ — always confirm with the local authority and providers before you rely on the numbers for a formal budget.
