Challenging Council Tax Band

jrs101

Hello everyone,

I would appreciate peoples' opinions with regard to challenging a council tax banding.

I have valued the property and worked out the valuation from 1991 using the tool provided and the value of the property in 1991 has crept into band D by £67

£68,068 Property Value in 1991
Band D (£68,001- £88,000)

What do you think of putting in a challenge?

thanks

what band are you currently on?
what band are similar properties in your street?

As most house price indices and similar valuation tools tend to undervalue 1991 prices, I doubt you would be successful. If you did suggest to the VOA your home was worth £68,068 in 1991, the immediate reply would be "clearly Band D" or similar.

Band D.


A very similar house two houses along is in band E (based on the 1991 indices) but is now in band D. It has an extension and therefore more floor space than my property.

what about the properties that are the same as yours? from your valuation it appears D is correct for your property unless all the other houses the same are lower
