Chances of Council Tax ReBanding based on these figures.

I'm in the process of purchasing a house valued at £157k (bank survey in its current state as it needs a lot work doing to it).
It is currently in Council Tax Band C - but if I compute these figures in the Nationwide 1991 property value calculator, then it says my band should be B (according to 1991 price for this house).
What are my chances of getting this property re-banded to Band B?

probably slim, most of the bandings are based on a house being in a 'reasonable' condition, if the house was in a good state what would it sell for and it's 1991 value be? Also what are the bands of the houses next door, if they are all lower then it might have a stronger case, if they are all identical houses but yours is the most rundown it isn't a case for lower council tax I would guess0

Very near ones are all band C but further down the road they are band B (although these band B houses are slighly smaller).0 -
