Council Valuation - higher than market value

Is there any way to query a councils valuation on a right to buy? The council have valued my brothers council house at a much higher price than ex-council houses close by are actually being sold for, up to a third higher in this case.
They are giving him a good discount, but a much bigger house in the next road is being sold for 25 grand less than the price they are quoting him.
Is there any way to query their valuation.? After the fiasco with the council tax banding, it seems that they might have got this wrong too!

Hi , Yes you can appeal against the decision by asking the District Valuer to look at it but his decision is final. Look at this very helpful government site. Your specific question is in Next Steps about half way down the page but read all the downloadable guides.
