What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property should be valued at £5,900 RV due to difficult lettability, age, location, and high maintenance costs. The Tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's main space price of £49.20/m² based on comparable property evidence and the actual rental evidence from July 2008 (£10,129), adjusted for documented external maintenance costs of £2,750 and a 12.5% end allowance for insurance and external costs. The appeal was allowed only to the extent of the Valuation Officer's concession to £7,300 RV, as the appellant provided insufficient evidence to support the lower figure sought.
