    Your council tax band will go up of you have improved your home

    For example, you have tree house in the garden for the kids.

    In an answer to a Conservative Parliamentary Question, Baroness Andrews, the Lords Minister for Local Government, said that that a tree house would be taken into account during the banding of a property for council tax if it "adds value".

    The aroma of a coffee pot on the brew when buyers come to view also adds value to a house. I think people who drink coffee should be checked up on too.

      I know someone who boarded up the doors to the rooms in the attic to get a lower rating.

      Anyway, at least you don't have the prospect of 3% income council tax. If they get that through I am moving to England.
