What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants contended that post-2000 construction office hereditaments on Birmingham Business Park were overvalued compared to pre-2000 comparables, with an unjustified differential in the tone per square metre. The tribunal found the differential "out of kilter" and, considering settled pre-2000 comparables and three key lettings (particularly the letting at £113.79/m2 closest to the valuation date), determined that the appellants' proposed valuations based on a lower tone per square metre were reasonable and allowed the appeals.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Computacenter UK Ltd, represented.
