What are the Lambeth Council Tax Bands?
The amount you pay towards your Lambeth Council Tax will depend on the market value of your property.
These council tax bands were established back in 1991, therefore they aren’t based on the current market value of your property. The process of evaluating houses in 1991 was quite rushed and so it’s possible that some 400,000 homes in England and Scotland are in the wrong council tax band.
As a result, it is possible to get a Lambeth council tax reduction if you think you’re due one. If you’re unsure whether your house is in the correct council tax band, you can challenge it. The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) will then assess your property and provide you with a decision within 2 months.
Here are the Lambeth Council Tax rates for each property valuation band in 2021/22:
| Council Tax Band | Property Value Range | Council Tax Rates |
|---|---|---|
A | Up to £40,000 | £1,061.06 |
B | £40,001 - £52,000 | £1,237.90 |
C | £52,001 - £68,000 | £1,414.75 |
D | £68,001 - £88,000 | £1,591.59 |
E | £88,001 - £120,000 | £1,945.28 |
F | £120,001 - £160,000 | £2,298.96 |
G | £160,001 - £320,000 | £2,652.65 |
H | More than £320,000 | £3,183.18 |
Why Do I Need to Change My Lambeth Council Tax Address?
It’s really important that you complete your Lambeth Council Tax change of address, whether you’re remaining in the Lambeth district, moving out or moving in for the first time.
If you already live within the Lambeth borough, you will need to inform the local authority of your change of address in case your new house is in a different property band, requiring you to pay more or less than before. However, you should be able to keep your existing account with Lambeth Council and continue with your direct debit.
Alternatively, if you’re moving to a new area, you will need to change your address with Lambeth Council Tax so the local authority knows to cancel your council tax payments. Changing your address with Lambeth Council will ensure you don’t end up paying council tax for your old property that you no longer live in.
Finally, if you’re moving into Lambeth borough for the first time, you will need to complete your Lambeth Council Tax address change and register with the local authority. Once your Lambeth Council account is set up, you can start paying the correct council tax and avoid any overlaps with your old payments.
When Do I Need to Complete My Lambeth Council Tax Change of Address?
Ideally, you should aim to change your address with Lambeth Council Tax within one month prior to your moving day. Completing your Lambeth Council Tax change of address so early on will ensure that all your details can be updated and your new payments arranged ready for when you move into your new house.
Making sure you change your address with Lambeth Council Tax well in advance of moving out will help you stay organised throughout the house moving process.
If your council tax band is changing as a result of your house move, or you need to register with the local authority for the first time, notifying Lambeth Council Tax of your change of address with plenty of time to spare will prevent any errors or mistakes when it comes to your payments.
How Do I Transfer Lambeth Council Tax to My New Home?
To transfer your Lambeth Council Tax to your new home, you’ll need to wait for a final bill from your existing local council. Then, when you move out, you’ll receive an annual bill for your new home.
However, if you’re moving within the Lambeth borough, you will continue making your council tax payments to the same local authority. Therefore, you won’t need to change your direct debit arrangement.
Alternatively, if you’re moving out of Lambeth, you’ll need to set up an account and inform the local authority of your change of address.
How to Cancel Lambeth Council Tax When Moving Home
If you’re currently residing in the Lambeth area but have plans to move out soon, it’s important that you remember to cancel your Lambeth Council Tax to avoid paying more than you need to.
When notifying Lambeth Council of your house move, you should find a ‘change of address’ page on their website. You’ll need to fill out this form and provide them with details of your forwarding address.
About a month after moving house, you should be sent a final bill. If you’re eligible for credit from your previous local authority, you can then apply for a refund.
When Do You Start Paying Council Tax After Moving House?
You’ll start paying council tax as soon as you move into your new house.
If you are remaining in the Lambeth area, your existing direct debit will continue at your new home so that you can pay at the same time as at your previous property.
Make sure you don’t just sit around waiting for the ‘new occupier’ letter from the local authority when you move in. Be proactive and get your account set up with Lambeth Council Tax as they will only backdate your payments otherwise.
