Why does the council matter if the postcode says Stamford?

Easton on the Hill's PE9 postcode points to Stamford, but the ONS postcode directory places the parish in North Northamptonshire. The two are drawn for different purposes.

That decides who you deal with for council tax, planning, bins and school applications. For a buyer comparing villages around Stamford, it is easy to miss.

It can also change scheme rules. Under the announced Your First Home scheme, each council area has its own price cap for new-build homes.

Council	Price cap
South Kesteven (includes Stamford)	£290,000
Rutland	£310,000

The caps apply only to new-build homes from participating developers, and the scheme is not yet open. This explains the scheme; a mortgage broker can say whether it suits you.
