Council Tax Re-Banding Help!

Options
My house was built in 2004 and has no surrounding identical or "that similar" comparisons. I have a 3 bed, 2 bath dormer bungalow and there is a 3 bed bungalow on the same lane that is banded at a C and a 3 bed house banded as a B and my house is banded an E. I tried to have a re-banding but was told as there are no comparisons I had no grounds. I have no idea what to do but feel I am paying too much. Does anyone else have a similar story?

    Band E does not seem unreasonable for a 20 yr old 3 bed 2 bath property (depending of course on where it is situated). Try looking further afield for similar properties to yours. We would need more info about the 3 bed bungalow and house to make a worthwhile comment
