What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the property's entry in the 2017 Rating List seeking its deletion on the grounds that the extensive repairs required (following fires, structural cracks, theft, roof leaks, and damage) would be uneconomic for a landlord to undertake. The Valuation Officer argued that the property remained liable to a rate as it had not been merged, split, or destroyed. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that although the property was in poor repair, it still existed as a non-domestic property in a demand-active parade of shops and that a reasonable landlord would undertake the necessary repairs.
