I think it stems from how you then dealt with their son afterwards.Originally posted by psychocandy View PostNeighbours told me about it. They complained that larger houses in the street were in a lower tax band than they were.
We've got the same house model as them so we did it as well.
Result = lower council tax band and refund of the difference for the past 6 years. Total of £1200.
Got to be happy with that!
Other neighbours on one side still in higher tax band but I'm not telling them because I don't like them. They tried to get my garage conversion application overturned just because they though they could. (All stems back from when my 5 yr old son had a fight in the house with their son aged 8 - they weren't happy about it)
