in Cutting tax
I have followed all the links on your website to assess our property value and came up with the following. Basically the figures show that a house that is similar condition to ours in 1991 should have been in a lower band by roughly £8,000 we have therefore disputed our banding for the past ten years going on the figures that a band C was between £52,001-£68,000 therefore it should have been a band B.
We have written to our local offices and spoken to them and they say that we were in the right band as a house in another street which was band C sold for £58,000 which we argued that they were banding via street not property. With a long discussion he basically said that the calcualtors on the links were wrong. Using the links it comes out that our house in 1991 was worth roughly £43,816 putting it in band B. Within our street the houses are different ours was a 2 bedrrom and there are others with 3/4 bedrooms.
