Overcharged for part year of council tax?

Thanks all. No empty home discount for us! Trying to sell it asap as stuck paying the council tax in full for now. 

Understand why they do it to minimise empty properties, but surely a 3 month grace period, maybe with proof the home is on the market, wouldn't go amiss!

Far simpler and keeps the amounts payable per band lower for all CT payers if there is no empty home discount. Revenue lost through EHDs has to made up by other CT payers

In theory yes yet our council tax went up even when they got rid of EHDs

But probably not by as much as it would have done if they had kept EHD. Apart from the odd year here and there CT has usually increased every year.
