Council tax revaluation 4 years after purchase

whitelighter

I have just received a notice from the Valuation Office Agency that because the previous owner had made improvements then due to a recent sale a revaluation will be undertaken.

Which is fine, except we moved in 4 year ago. Is there a limit as to when they must issue a notice and how far they can go back?

Thanks

Wales - they can go back to date of sale


England - date of notification of CT band increase

So, in effect, you've enjoyed 4 years at a lower rate.
A marker is normally placed on the file at the VOA and, when ownership changes, the banding should be changed then.
