I followed all steps in your guide, my neighbour is on band A I am on band B we have identical houses, also in 1991 my house value was less than £40k i contacted the valuation office, lady on phone said i had very strong case. letter received saying no to change of band with no option to discuss. Where do i go from here it seems that all the council have to do is say no without giving a reason and i have no way of fighting the big boys.

The council have no say in the matter - the bands are decided by the Valuations Office who are part of HMRC. The council can only band properties as per the instruction they receive.I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0
