What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the price per m² should be £80 rather than £102.50, supported by rental evidence from Europa Court showing values between £63.58 and £83.86 per m² around the antecedent valuation date, plus a later new letting at £108.97 per m² confirming market growth. The tribunal found the appellant's evidence from the immediate locality more persuasive than the Valuation Officer's comparable properties from wider locations with different amenities, and accepted that £80 per m² was supported by the rental evidence within Europa Court.
