Usually the property would be graded at a band lower then it would normally be valued at. For example from a band D to a band C. For a band A property the reduction would be one sixth.<\/p>\n<p>For people on low incomes rebates of up to 100% are possible but will depend on income, savings, dependent children and disability.
