Council Tax Rebanding

Options
Hi,
I'm checking in to if I can get my house rebanded. I'm in a higher band than my neighbours but when the original banding was done we were in the process of building an extension. I've got a feeling that only completed building work could be counted towards the value of the property. Does anyone know if this is the case?

    Have managed to answer my own question. Rang the VAO and as long as it wasn't finished by 1993 it doesn't count. He thinks they may have included it when the valuation was done and I have a good case for rebanding so I'm very happy!

    How will you show that it was it finished after 1 April 1993?
    Good luck

    The council know when it was finished because we had to have it signed off by building control.
