*MODS: please move thread to a more apt forum, if applicable*
Has anyone successfully appealed a capital valuation and/or poundage used to calculate a residential property rates bill?
I have already requested a review of the valuation based upon similar properties in the area and the purchase price
I contacted the local authority, who set the rate/poundage to be applied to the market valuation, but they don't seem to have an appeals process as the poundage is set by political input and a protracted deliberation process.
Can anyone advise on how best to go about getting the market valuation reduced and if it is feasible to get the poundage reduced?
Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
