Council tax rebanding help needed

Miss_Riot

I live in a purpose built semi-detached wheelchair accessible bungalow in a cul de sac. All of the buildings on this road but one I am attached to are houses, and even the one I am attached to are 3 or 4 bed. I am the only 2 bed on the street. We are all band C except 1 3 bed which happens to be band B. There are no other bungalows or a similar size or age for miles for me to compare. The next nearest semi or terrace bungalows are in band B or band A. As mine was built in the 1990s, there's very little to compare to. 

How can I provide evidence based this that I have been unfairly banded? All of the 1930s homes on the main road we come off of are all 3 bed and all band A so none of it makes much sense. 

Based in England.

Just use the Band A and B bungalows. It isn't necessarily the number of bedrooms which is the basis for comparison but the overall size of the dwelling. Are the 1930s Band A houses, council built as this would explain the apparently low banding.

The size difference is considerable. I cannot find anything comparable, to be honest, and yes they are council-built and still council owned.

I'm sorry but if you can't find anything to back up your claim, then it is going to be very difficult to get a band reduction.

Further thoughts.


You didn't say if you have a valid appeal outstanding or you were out of time an just seeking a band review. If the former, you will be able to see the evidence the VOA will be using to justify the band. 


As I suggested earlier just use the Band A and B bungalows, if there is nothing else, then that is it.
