Confusion over C/tax rebanding!

in Cutting tax
Hi
This is our situation:
We've been in our house since May 2001, when we paid £59,000 for it. We've been paying council tax band C.
We've followed Martin's instructions to work out whether we'd be entitled to a rebanding, but have a couple of problems:
1. The house wasn't built until 1992
2. all similar houses on our street are also on Band C
However, the house price calculator worked out that the value of our house in 1991 & 1992 would have been around £38,000 (Band A). This is based on using the last house price sale on our street which was £107,500 in July 2004.
Our question is, would we have a possible claim for rebanding purely based on the above?
Has anybody been in a similar position or could advise us?
Thank you!!
