VALUATION APPEALS
If you are unhappy with the valuation of your property, you can take the matter to the Valuation Tribunal. They are billed as being the independent body for council tax and rating appeals. The correspondence address of which is:
2nd Floor 120 Lehman Street London E1 8EU
One interesting appeal at the moment is that for Herstmonceux Museum, where the Trust dealing with the a proposed valuation of £660,000 by the Wealden District Council is at pains to point out that only one small section of the premises is being used residentially.
The remainder of the registered title is divided in use as an office and workshop and a studio flat. It is the studio flat that is used residentially, and this small section could hardly be valued in Band E. Whereas, according to the Government guidance on assessments:
"HMOs with adapted letting rooms: Separately let rooms in a HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) may have been adapted, for example, so that they have their own kitchenette or separate shower/bath and WC. They will be given their own band even though may share some facilities. In making a decision, the VOA will look at the degree to which each part has been structurally altered."
Previously this site was classed as "Historic" and placed in Band A. Subsequently the entry was deleted in July of 1997.
Values are based on the open market values in 1991. Clearly then, and as supported by the 1997 deletion, this property should be in Band A. It would seem to be an open and shut case except for any deliberate misdirection on the part of either Wealden District Council, or the Valuation Office.
