Why don't they just convert the Bedrooms into Studies , Library , Morning Room and thus avoid the tax ?

I have been paying this tax for years and years.
They valued my house back in 1991/92 and charge me a tax every year to live in my house.

It was technically a drawing room, but we always referred to it as the lounge.

you can't, if it's classified as a bedroom then it stays that way. It applies as already mentioned to social housing tenants. It has nothing at all to do with the valuation of your property... what council tax band

I think it was a room used mostly by the lady of the house. She 'retired' there with her sewing,etc as it was usually a room that got all the sun.
