House rates to be 0.6 of house value!

Or to be more precise, a total of nine tranches will be delivered province-wide over the next seven weeks.

The VLA website gives the dates for council districts and they start on next Monday 10th July. Presumably they will be on the website first.

Just noticed there is a calculator which gives a rough estimate of what you will pay based on your capital value.

It seems to confirm the 0.6% which had been talked about before!

Hi,

Most people should have received their letter about the re-evaluation by now. We live in a terrace and our rates are set to go up by more than £200 - ouch!

However, we are going to appeal this as both our back entry and the entry our house looks out on are 'unadopted' and so are more jungle-like than anything else - unsightly, bringing down house value never mind the weekly struggle to get the bins out.
Also, there is a delapidated house on our street which is devaluing all the houses on our street.

Just thought i would point this out - if there is anything that might devalue your house and so merit a lower bill it's always worth a try.
