Cowes Removals – Council Tax Band
Back in the 1990’s the government re-valued all domestic properties in the UK. This was to set a baseline for local council tax. Following the property re-valuation a large number of properties were put into the wrong tax band, resulting in higher tax rates than necessary.
When you move to your new home you can challenge the tax band. Speak to your new neighbours and see if those in similar sized properties to you to check what tax band they are in. It is best to get some evidence before approaching the Valuation Office Agency or the local council at https://www.iwight.com
