Hi , my daughter bought her first home just over a year ago , she lives in a 2 bedroom mid town house,(she is the middle of three houses) the two houses each side are 2 bed semi detached. These 3 houses are the only 2 beds houses on the street, and my daughters the only mid terraced, the rest are all 3 beds, but they are all in the same tax band . My daughter got intouch with the valuation dept to explain this, and said that some houses exactly the same build style as hers , about half a mile away are in the lower tax band . However she was told that nothing could be done ,and any comparisons must be with properties the same age as hers. Is this right , nothing can be done . Thanks.

As it's outside of the 6 month period for a valid banding appeal then all that could be done was to ask the VOA. If they said no, as here, there is no ability to make a formal appeal against their decision.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

Because of the difference between the lower and upper limits of a CT band it is posible for 2 and 3 bed houses to be in the same bandIf you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
