What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property should be split into two separate hereditaments with effect from 1 October 2015, claiming two separate companies (VR Helms and Century 21 Lettings) occupied different parts of the shop with different functions. The tribunal found that the two areas were not physically separated, employees could access each other's spaces without exclusive occupation, and the two companies shared common directors, indicating they were interconnected. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, holding the property remained one hereditament at £14,000 RV.
