[QUOTE="Sir Bronking, post: 175440, member: 197546"] just received council tax bill:mad: the question i'm asking is, has anybody queried there's in an attempt to get a lower banding. the reason i ask is as follows the house i live in (bought 4-5 months ago) is in band E which according to figures on the bill meant it would have been valued in 1991 at between £88,000 - £120,000. the average house has increased 160% in that time which by my calculate would give a price of between £228,800 -£312,000. being as i bought this house for £205,000 4-5 months ago (it was built in 1978, but i don't believe it has had any modifications in that time for eg no double glazing or whatever, i believe i'm in the wrong band (not musically:) ). so...... has anybody ever looked into reducing there bill in these circumstances? another benefit would be lower water rate, being as there are only 2 of us living here would be more appropriate [/QUOTE]
