Should think with the way council tax works, there's more risk of the council deciding that your improvements have increased the value of the house, so they're moving you into a higher tax bracket!

Makes no difference whatsoever. Your council tax band is based on the property value at 1/4/91. It will stay that way until the next reval, which is not going to be any time soon.
If you make major changes (e.g. add a loft conversion or a extension), then no reval is done until the property is sold-so it will not affect you in the least.

Why do people waste time talking to uninvited sales spiel at their door?


I just open the door, say politely, no thank you, if they don't sling their hook immediately then I use different language.

I read this wrong first time - assumed you meant you would try French or German or Swahili or something and how would this work? On second read I think you meant you use more 'persuasive and direct, of the 4 letter variety' language.... :rotfl:
