Thread: Council Tax Banding

I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find out how much my one bedroom, ground floor council flat was (really) worth in 1991, as opposed to the estimate given by Enfield Council on this years council tax bill. (My current banding is Band C that states my flat was worth £52,001 - £68,000 on the 'open market' as of April 1st 1991). I think that estimate is too high.

My bill (for £858.10 (including the 25% discount for single occupancy) says I can appeal to the Listing Officer if I think the council tax band for my property is too high. If my appeal is successful, they will give me a refund if I have paid too much council tax.

It's my understanding that the rules allow you to apply for a reduction to a lower band.

I did this several years ago, the council told me how/where to apply and I didn't have to find out the value myself, it was checked for me. Note though that the rules only permit you to drop one band, even if you are two or three bands above what you should be paying.

Any further reduction of bands can only be made at a later date once the property has been sold (e.g. by the new owners), that's how it was explained to me anyway if I remember correctly.

This may not be of any help but at www.houseprices.co.uk you can see how much flats in the same block went for over the years.
