Potential increase to Council Tax band G and H in Budget

Im trying to get ahead of the potential doubling of my council tax band (G) in the november 2026 budget by challenging the banding
I have read the guide but would like to know of others experiences with regards to locating evidence to support the challenge
My house was built in 1998 so was a 'drive-by' valuation. There are at least 8 other properties on the development which are in the same band as me and the rest are in band F
How do assessors look for evidence to refute my claim - i can be as selective as possible when giving proof of similar houses that were a similar size and build to mine but put on a lower band and they will be able to challenge this by finding an equal number of properties that were put on a similar band to mine?
Any experience of others would be very helpful
