[edit - if there is ever mass rebanding of houses there will be riots in the street just like with the poll tax, no chance of it happening]
I believe they can , they probably have more power than police.

It's HMRC people rather than council staff that are responsible for the valuation.

the national re-banding has been but on hold due to public attitude. I'm not aware that anyone yet has the right of entry, but I could be wrong (I only work for the council, they don't tell us things)
If you requested a re-assessment, as many have done, then they will re-assess it any may move it either way.

We'll definately loose out if / when they re-assess all, due to an extension and conservatory, but on the other hand, by 87 yo grandad lives on a street with an average (I guess) in excess of 5 per household, and only receives a 25% discount on council tax from what his neighbours pay. Hardly fair. At least the new system would take into account that he doesn't even have heating.
I'd vote for a local income tax, but I don't earn much so I can!
