VOA doesn't show address?

I moved into this property last month. On checking the Voa website my address doesn't show. It has 3 properties two of which I'm not sure even exist and they are band D. This property I would assume would be a band B possibly a Band C. It is not a new property probably 40+ years old. The Royal Mail site and everywhere else that I entered my Postcode seem to be correct.

I've informed the Council that I've moved in and no doubt the letting agent has too, but I've yet to receive a Council Tax Bill.

As anyone ever come across anything like this before?

Many thanks for you help

    May or may not be the same thing, but my house didn't show on VOA under my postcode either. So I looked up nearby addresses and found that it had been placed under one of those in error and was then able to look up. It was out by one letter.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    If you ask the council they will be able to give you the 'property reference number' which the VOA will use to identify the property on their database, if it's been banded.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    Has your house a name rather than a number, as the house could be listed under its former name, or as vivatifosi suggests, it could be listed under an erroneous or superseded postcode.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales
