That's been around in various guises for years. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to get a house banding reduced by the Valuation Office.

Yeah, it's a 'too good to be true' scenario.

I paid below the £40k threshold and still couldn't get a reduction to band A. They told me I was an astute negotiator, but that they valued the place at £40,001!

I was one of several on the estate that suffered the same fate.
