My house is Band F council tax - what does this mean re Budget?

[housemonkey]

I love my house. It's four bedrooms detached newbuild. It's probably worth about £750,000 (not meant at all to be a boast, as I know lots of people's houses are worth a lot more!). It was put in Band F by the VOA (don't know how they assessed it). I love my house, but it seems insane that it will be hit by Rachel Reeves' mansion tax. At first, that was for houses over £2m! I complete agree that the council tax system needs revamping. But how do they actually define Band F houses? I can't find a clear explanation anywhere!

I live in a 2 bedroom (nothing spectacular or fancy)
flat that’s in band F and worth less than £300k, I’d be very happy if they re-evaluated the bands!!
all the newer builds round here are in disproportionately higher bands than the older properties. Our flats were built after the last banding valuation and I’m convinced they were banded based on the sold price when built rather than back dated to the council tax banding date. I tried challenging it when I moved in and it got knocked back based on floor level plan square footage but something definitely doesn’t add up!

They will be fucked at the next council elections, 5, 6 months? KS will be gone soon after that.

You may well be right.

But be careful what you wish for.

Exactly. Imagine Angela Raynor as PM and Torsten Bell as chancellor.

Not much point in them having anyone fronting it when the left wing back benchers call all the shots anyway

Now that's not something I ever want to see, but these days you really never know.

The Labour Party is aiming to appeal to those on benefits who might have voted Reform and immigrant communities who now have their own representatives. This makes up a significant - very significant - voting block.

The Labour Party , namely starmer and reeves are trying to stop a revolt from their hard left back benchers, no more no less, so they’ve given in to keep them in position.

I agree, I've just moved from a band C in SW London to a band C in South Yorkshire. I'm paying more ct on a far cheaper property, I don't understand it.
