well done martin. and good luck to everyone going for this.
Hi All
Great posts, have followed Council Tax rebanding
Have been on VOA site, and looked at our banding which is marked up as B, Band review pending. Have read their explanation of this and it seems to suggest that even now we have modernised, the rating which was A should have perhap stayed the same as the property has not be sold, am I right in thinking this?
We bought the property a small detached bunglow in 1983, which was unmodernised, no hot water,heating and only two bedrooms. We paid around 23,000 at the time. We live in a close and are the only bunglow of this age so have had problems rating against the other properties in the area. The other properties are modern terraces and are rated B along with some bigger properties with higher ratings.
All advise would be appreciated Thanks in advance
i actually phoned my local voa on friday and whilst waiting for the guy at the end of the phone to find something on file i had 5 mins of free entertainment from 2 of his colleagues, they were discussing the fallout that they felt there was going to be from the show, as you can imagine they were really not too happy, but they had drafted in the full amount of staff for monday, after a few naughty words about mr.lewis. they then started on the cabby driver that had been spreading the word deciding how he could be tracked down and shot!!
Well my house is having a report drawn up, i think that whas what the guy said.
my 6 neighbours who appealed against their banding and won seem to have forgotten to mention it to me, hmm, good job 4 mr.lewis eh.
All are banded A.
I used to have a bed-sit which was exempt from council tax (landlord had to
pay)
As a studio is much the same as a bed-sit bar having its own shower room why
should the banding be the same as a 1 bedroom flat?
Please advise?
Thank You
