POLL - What council tax band are you in? (especially those in a terrace!)

[mumfor1standfinaltime]

Hi,

I am doing a poll about council tax bands.

I live in a new build 2 up 2 down terrace with no garden.

My band is B.

hunker - mine is end terrace new build, 2 up 2 down, no garden. Band B.

I was a B in my old house (2 bed terrace). I'm now an E. I am dreading the new bill...

£1500 house was Band D.

goes to check billing file upstairs...

Band D for a shitty 2 up 2 down ex council pice of turd

loadsamoney!

foxinsocks - it is the LibDems. I have a long correspondence with my local lib dem MP who is a leading light in this policy area.

I really don't agree with the way that many pensioners are penalised - and I think that there needs to be some consideration of ability to pay. My point to him was just that the size of your gross income does not necessarily equaly ability to pay.

Labour wisely cancelled the revaluation because they knew that it would cause uproar. However, many newbuild houses are definitely over-valued for council tax as a result.

NDP - whoah!!! That must win the highest council tax????

Seems odd how there isn't always a huge difference between the bandings regarding how much you pay a year.

Noone has said band A yet either. Strange.

We are Band G.

Have just got the bill and we are billed monthly for 6 months, for each 12 month period. Total bill is £2087 per month.

Checked bill for old house, we paid £167 per month over 6 months for a 12 month period.

Sorry for confusion !

3 bed semi in slightly rough part of town - Band B

Cloudhopper - wonder who has the cheapest?

Not me

band B for a 4 bed victorian house

c
3 bed weavers cottage (3 levels)
postage stamp yard outside

friend who lives in the same type of house down the same road is band b (cheaper)

no fair

where in the country are you cloudhopper?

band a - 3 bed end terrace postage stamp back garden, opens to street at the front

Troutpout - you should challenge your council tax too.

That programme on tv tomorrow night, I will be watching.

mumforthe1standfinaltime - ours is only 140 per month, but it is a flat.

I was in Band A once - a very small 60s built flat in Chelmsford. It was pretty gross, but nice and cheap.

S London - if it helps my MP is Paul Burstow.

cloudhopper, ours is £105 a month.

We also used to live in a 3 bed maisonette, built in 1969. Tatty little place, but cheap and in the City Centre! Walk to work!
This was Band A.
