For a house with an oblique partial view of Tottenham and beyond, backing the Railway and fronting Wightman Road, with a mini-garage which no car has ever been able to enter, but with the (ever more remote) prospect of a (desirable) W1 bus stop at my front gate, with a garden rear-view of Chettle Court flats, Cement Factory & TrainWashfacility (in prospect), balanced by a corner of Ally Pally & Muswell Hill church spire (at the risk of a crick in my neck), and with a conservatory whose single glazing gave way to Double six years ago - will my current Council Tax on second highest Band go UP or DOWN from the make-believe assessment of 1991?

With all that, I'm for recommending a doubling of your tax OAE!

Has anyone tried to get their flat /house rebanded? I have thought about it in the past, but was worried it might go up rather than down...

I'm sure the vast majority would go up! I remember looking at mine when I moved in in 2001 and it was already so far removed from which ever band it was in.
