Just watched thing on tv, it is possible you have been paying council tax for your "wrongly banded" house and you can reclaim years of payments if it has been.
You can check on, SAA.gov,,,,,site
Just enter your postcode in its search engine. |

Just remember, in for a penny in for a pound.
If the banding was incorrect but it was in your favour, they can back date the additional liability and this is usually for the last one/two years.
Same for non-domestic rates. |

"Just watch though it works both ways. If you underpaid they will ask for the money back too. "
So do you have to sign up first so they have your details & then they'll say if you have a rebate or whether you owe them?
Considering the "nice" area I'm in & the state of our roads, lack of services & the drop in house prices I wonder if that is taken into consideration or not. Still, it could be worth a try. |

To be honest I don't know if you can check before you contact them. X |

You have to prove that your house was put into the wrong band at the time of valuation. So if you can show that houses in the same street or similar houses in he area were banded lower you have a case. |

I went through the process and failed, you need to challenge your banding within 6 months of you moving into your house otherwise you loose your right, i took it to an appeal but lost, you can wait for a new neighbour to move in and get them to challenge within the period, if they succeed then if your property is the same or similar you can get the rebate after all  |
