Are you paying too much council tax?

I hope some people make some money from this, or rather get some back. We, in the borough of Kingston pay the most council tax in the country so I feel extra obliged to point you to this page, which explains how your house could very well be in the wrong council tax banding. If so, you could claim back overpayments from as far back as the early 1990s!

This is going to be a big story when it goes on TV tomorrow so check out the website (and those it lists itself) before it gets too much traffic!

Bereavement fares

A tip that hopefully you'll never have to use - if you have had a death in the family and need to fly to the funeral, some commercial airlines offer bereavement fares that are around half the price of a full price ticket. Not all offer this though as they would argue that cheap airline tickets are something they already offer, but I'm glad that businesses are sensitive to this sort of thing. A copy of the death certificate apparently is all they need.

Rent out your parking space

Finding a parking space near your train station or place of work is difficult to start with, finding a cheap one is nigh on impossible. So, someone made ParkatmyHouse.com. Seems like a great idea. They take 10% of the rent, but that seems reasonable!
