I am expecting a box to submit my details and a description of the works etc., but there's nothing that fits the bill unless I'm missing something simple. I even tried phoning, but that's a complete waste of time and one just gets cut off (we're too busy syndrome). Bloomin' tech. Just give me a human. TIA.............MD http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=687527&v=e car4play687526 Mon, 30 Mar 2026 20:11:47 +0100 Looks OK to me but then I know nothing... This link presumably? https://www.gov.uk/guidance/removing-a-property-from-the-council-tax-list#deleting-a-property-from-the-council-tax-list-because-it-is-derelict-or-in-disrepair http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=687526&v=e car4play687525 Mon, 30 Mar 2026 20:08:33 +0100 I contacted the council about getting the council tax suspended on a flat I own due to extensive structural works being required. They said that they no longer deal with such matters and that it was now in the hands of the valuation office who would remove the property from the list of dwellings on the council tax list, if the work met certain criteria. Meeting the criteria is not going to be an issue, but navigating the gov site is. Normally I find gov sites are quite intuitive but this one is the pits and just doesn't seem to go anywhere. I've had a friend who should know take a look and he is equally bamboozled. Have any of you chaps had any dealings with this lot? Kind regards......................MD http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=687525&v=e
