I've just moved into a new property, and i feel my local governemnt is trying to rip me off with my council tax, therefore i am challenging the appeal.

I know its a long shot, but did anyone move into a two bedroom flat in 1991, and if so, how much did it cost (in the southendish area obviously). Mine is new build, so that would i guess make it a bit more expensive, but a comparison would be nice!

The reason im peeved is that i've just moved from renting a two bed GFF with lounge, kitchen, bathroom, garden and driveway, and that was Band A.

The new place is 2 bedroom, with lounge, kithcen, dining room and bathroom, but no garden, and just a parking space.

Ok so i have one more room (which is hardly huge) but have no garden, yet im now Band C..... i just dont get it! GAARGGHH!!!

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

If it helps I sold a two bedroom flat in Burdett Avenue, Westcliff in 1991 for £48500.00, just before the arse came out of the propert market. It was an old property and therefore a conversation from a large house. The rooms were all large aprt from the kitchen, and it also had a garden.

Hope that helps.
 
MrsB's 2 bed flat cost her about £20k circa 93/94.
 
I think it's all a bit of a lottery really. We had a near derelict, crappy ramshackle 2 bed flat in Chalkwell that was band C, now got a much larger 3 bed house in Southend that's band B, and incidentally cost more than the flat in the yuppie echelons of chalkwell.
I think our old poll tax was decreed by local residents and was only determined by snob value! (Oh nyo, wi couldn't porsibly leeve in a grade B area, cawld we Tristan?)
