What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, who purchased the property intending redevelopment, sought deletion of the 2010 list entry on grounds the workshop was unlettable due to poor repair. Expert evidence suggested repair costs of £265,000–£267,000 (at 2008 values) against an achievable rent of £79,000 per annum. The tribunal found that repairs would be recouped in less than four years and thus constituted economic repairs which a reasonable landlord would undertake, meaning the property retained rateable value and deletion was not justified.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, represented.
