Council Tax banding error on new build?

I have just been looking through some official documents as I am in the process of informing everyone of a name change due to my recent marriage. I have just found documentation regarding my current property.
I am the second owner of the property & there has been no building work by previous owner [or myself since] which would have increased banding when I purchsed it 2004
Documents I have found [with my land registry documents] say property was purchased in September 1996 for £67, 950 as a new build. So not sure how my banding can have been set at D [property would have needed to be worth £68,001 - £88,000 in 1991, 5 years before it was built]. I have used the Nationwide calculator which puts value of property in 1991 at £62,000.
Three similar properties in road [all 3 bedroom detached houses] are also in same band.
Has anyone had experience of getting their property rebanded in similar circumstances?
