What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the property should be reduced to £0 due to vandalism by scrap metal thieves rendering it incapable of beneficial occupation, with repair costs of £700,000 deemed uneconomic. The Valuation Officer initially argued the statutory assumption of repair applied regardless of vandalism. Following reconsideration of case law and evidence by both parties, they reached an agreement that was ratified by the tribunal, reducing the RV to £91,000 for the period from 31 August 2013 to 31 March 2016.
