Hi. Just a general question as I'm thinking of applying for a revaluation on my mothers bungalow.
My mother lives in a road with over 200 2-story houses. However, there is one block of 8 semi-detached bungalows of which she owns one. They are all the same from the outside and were built all the same as 3 bedroom bungalows. Checking the valuation ratings, 7 of them are in band D of which she is one. One other is in band E. presumably that is because it has been converted to a 4 bedroom - looking on Google earth, there is a dormer on the roof at the rear.
My mothers bungalow, which she moved into in 2009 is a two bedroom - a bedroom had been sacrificed to give it a larger kitchen/diner. That's how it was when she moved in and I get the impression it was done just before then (house was empty and bought as a repossession from a building society so unable to get any info from previous tenants).
In my opinion, a two bedroom bungalow is worth less than any of the adjoining three bedroom ones so my question is, should that be grounds enough for a lowering of the council band valuation?
