If I own 60% of a property and my mum owns 40% and we then get planning permission and improve the property. This would incur a marker against it. Which I know if we sold later to someone else it would alter the council tax banding. But the ? IS If I decide to buy out my mum's 40% would this cause the council to re band my property ?

Are you paying separate council tax? Buying out shouldn't change the banding but significantly altering might.

Ooh, I love a challenge!

Can't find a definitive answer as to whether or not a partial sale would constitute a 'relevant transaction'. However logic would imply not, since they could not carry out a 'partial' revaluation, and technically 60% of the property hasn't been subseqently sold.

Best to check with your local Valuation Office (details via Google)

If it's you paying the council tax, in your name, before and after it is highly unlikely it will even register with the LA.
