snoozequeen1 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Please can anyone shed any useful light on this? It seems a fairly small number of people across SE15 and parts of SE22 have had letters saying their houses have been "randomly selected" to be surveyed as part of "Southwark Council's House Condition Survey". Dark rumour has it that what they are actually about is carrying out valuations for the purpose of borough-wide Council Tax rebanding. As I understand it, every property is still Council Tax banded according to its value when the heinous tax was introduced, hence people with large mortgages on standard fairly grot properties that have gone up in value by about x6 in the interim would be in for a very nauseating shock.

Siduhe Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Someone I know in SE1 had this recently - she was assured by the person who visited her it is nothing to do with council tax banding (which is managed by the Valuation Office Agency, not the Council) but was very focused on things like heating efficiency, whether she had insulated her roof and whether she shared her access to her home with any other dwellings. Southwark have to do this for their own council managed stock in any event, as part of the Decent Homes project.
