I just recently bought a property and noticed that on the council rate's notice, their valuation of my property (the capital improved value) is higher than my purchase price by around 7%, undoubtedly causing me to pay more rates than I ought to.
2 questions
1) is this common occurrence? usually council valuations are ultra conservative (in Syd at least). Should I be proud of the deal or is it sort of common?
2) how do I appeal the council valuation for being over market value so I can pay the right amount of rates?
