What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the rateable values of four office buildings on Birmingham Business Park, arguing that the post-2000 construction hereditaments were valued too highly compared to pre-2000 construction hereditaments. The tribunal found that the differentials between pre- and post-2000 construction hereditaments were out of kilter, and that the settlements for pre-2000 hereditaments were relevant comparables. Based on rental evidence and comparative analysis, the tribunal determined that the appellant's proposed valuations were reasonable and allowed the appeals.
