Does anyone know the up to date rules and regulations with regards to paying council tax on a derelict property that is being renovated?
We're being charged full rates on the temporary accomodation and full rates less 10% discount on the derelict.
I've been told by a few people now that the derelict should only be 50% but I'd like to get the facts before I go back to the council.
At the moment the council claim that because the derelict has been banded in the past we can't get away with paying rates unless it's completely demolished. We want to rebuild the derelict though as we feel it has some significance to the area and feel it would be a shame to completely flatten it.
So any ideas welcome.
Also, does anyone know the rules and regs with regards to the temporary accomodation? If we name it and have all our utility bills paid to it do we have the right to replace it with a permanent dwelling as we would in England?
