Because exemptions apply to the property, a new period of exemption may not be given on a change of ownership. For example, if you buy a house that has been empty for six months and exempt from council tax during that time under Class C, you could not claim a further exemption under Class C if the property is to stay empty for a while longer (for things such as redecoration)
