What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £53,000 to £43,500, arguing for a price of £550/m² based on the lease renewal rent of £46,750 p.a. and comparable properties. The Valuation Officer maintained £53,000 based on £670/m² supported by rental evidence at 194 Hutton Road analysed at £673.58/m². The tribunal found that while the appeal property's own lease renewal was two years post-AVD and thus given little weight, the comparable rent at 194 Hutton Road agreed three months after the AVD and at £673.58/m² was the most persuasive evidence, justifying the maintained assessment. The appeal was dismissed.
