How do I register for council tax when moving into an apartment in England?

If you move into one of our apartments in England, you will normally need to register for council tax with the local council. Council tax is not normally included in the advertised rent.

Our English build-to-rent developments are in London, Manchester, Bristol & Newcastle. Each is covered by its relevant local council.

How to register

• Find the address & postcode for your exact apartment.
• Visit the relevant council’s official website.
• Look for the section on moving into a property or registering for council tax.
• Enter the date your tenancy or occupation begins & your household details.
• Check the property’s council tax band.
• Apply for any discount, reduction or exemption you may qualify for.

Some households qualify for a single-person discount or a statutory exemption. The council decides eligibility, not Incremental Living.

You can find guidance at GOV.UK: Council Tax. If the council cannot identify your new apartment, check its full address with us rather than registering an incorrect unit.
