1. Possibly
2. No

1. Possibly
2. Maybe - if the enhancement in value is perceived as taking the property into the next Band.

Garage factors ..
Position in relation to house .. Forward/Behind, etc
Height
Square Area
Type of construction can come into it too.

This could effect banding as the tax is based on property value (not living area) but it may well be unchanged until next property change of hands. You would have to enquire.

No easy answers!
