Council tax rebanded after I left property

michael_a_2

I lived at a property from 2007-2014, I appealed the D banding and gave examples of other properties that were B and bigger.

I got fobbed off twice and told it was banded correctly

I left the property in September and told the landlord it was overvalued but they wouldn't change it.

He has managed to get it changed to B and the effective date of alteration is down as April 1993

They say I can't have a refund as I'm no longer living at the property

My argument is that had they listened to my complaints previously I could have saved my self £320 per year

So that's a £2310 over payment

Any advice or do I just take the hit?

You are entitled to the refund. If the council don't acknowledge this, get your local councillor involved.
