A question about : Council Tax Rebanding: 2006/7 new build

Am looking into a house purchase, of an apartment which is in the region of Ј75k at the moment. It was a new build a the peak time of 2006-2007 where, when new, these were sold new for in the region of Ј115k, so theres been enormous depreciation.

These are all band 'B' properties based on that valuation and a 1991 era calculation.

However, based on the current Ј75k value, said 1991 recalculation is easily a band 'A' property, so is this grounds for an appeal and a re-banding??...

A question about : Reclaim Council Tax

We purchased a house in 1987 and sold the house in 2001. Can we reclaim Council Tax from 2003 until selling the house in October 2001.
If we can how do we go about it?
When we bought the house it was sharing its rear entrance with a working Wharehouse, so it was on a low rateable value. This was lower than other local houses. Should this have been taken into account when the Council tax was implemented?

A question about : Council Tax

I started a new job in Durham some while back and have been renting a property here. The agents advised the council of the change of let and I'd assumed that they had told them that the property was rented as a single occupancy, they say that was communicated. I'd assumed that I was levied a 25% discount, I'd neglected to check until a couple of months back and so contacted the council.

A question about : Council Tax Cost Cutting: reduce your band and grab any discounts Discussion Area

Oh well as I was last in with a comment on the thread - I'll start discussing on this one! I'm hoping I will get at least £600 back , not sure what the overpayments would have been over all the years, wonder whether they will break it down for me?
An alternative savings account I suppose!
