Council Tax- how much is yours

I’ve read that council tax outside of London can be more expensive than inside, so I’m being nosy having just got my new bill.

I’ll start:
London, 3 bed terrace £1691.52 (or £169 over 10
Months)

Bloody extortionate imo!

North East (reported to be one of the most expensive councils, don't know if that's true) I haven't actually received my bill yet, which will be interesting when I have to pay on 1st April won't it?
It'll be around £100 a month I reckon though, judging on last year's and the increase, band A 3 bed flat, single person discount (20%)

What we get for that though, is a completely different conversation!

£2,322. Old house with leaking roof and mice, outside a village in North Lincolnshire. Worth about £250,000 at a push.

No bus service. No amenities. Bins emptied once a week (recycling/waste alternatively).

That seems to be it. And I'm pretty shocked if you can pay less in London, to be honest. I thought it was supposed to be based on value of house!

It’s not how many bedrooms you have. It’s the land your/area your property is in.

£1000 a year includes a 25% discount.
