Just had a bit of a shock.
Since the fire, we have replaced our 3 bed bungleyhole with a 5 bed house on a similar sized footprint on the same plot. I knew it would increase the Council Tax as the bungalow was a D, which was a bit of a win anyway. I was hoping for an F.
The house has come in as a G. Including all precepts, the annual payment is £3350 this year. If I could get it rated F it would save £450. Better start some comparisons.
It's quite interesting looking up the neighbours' bands. Best thing to do is improve a low-banded house. It doesn't get reviewed until you sell it, so you continue to enjoy the old rating while you live there. Unfortunately if you knock it down and start again you get a new rating.
