LPT - solicitor overvalued house

    I bought my house in mid 2014. My solicitor said I had to pay half the property tax for 2014, which was grand and it had to be paid to her before I got the keys. So that was all paid and she sorted it out.

    A few months later I checked and noticed the property tax band I had paid in was for the value of the house in mid 2014 and not in 2013, which put it into the next value band.

    So i sent Revenue some print outs from the PPR of neighbouring houses sale prices in 2013 and proved that I should be in the 200 -250k price bracket rather than the 250-300k price band and they wrote back and pretty much said tough luck. I forgot about it but I just got this years LPT bill and Im still in the higher band and this has annoyed me. I should be paying the tax based on the value of my house in 2013 not 2014

    Should I just drop does or should revenue change it for me? I pay enough tax as it is!

    Sure don't we all ;)

    If you've contacted Revenue and they don't want to cooperate/change the band I'm not sure what else to try.

    Did you raise this issue with the solicitor?

    What's the difference in the amount of LPT?

    What has the solicitor said about it ? Maybe he could write to Revenue explaining an error was made.

    Ye the difference is 90 per year, but that's 90 per year for the next few years now.

    Solicitor said she always puts it in for the current value and that as its a year ago now I would have to take it up with revenue myself. Argued with her but wasn't getting anywhere.
