What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction to £21,750 RV based on £55.00 per m², arguing that analysis of rents on the subject property and comparable properties supported this rate. The Valuation Officer defended an amended assessment of £22,750 RV based on £57.50 per m² (less 1.5% for lack of central heating), arguing that the subject property's renewal rent in 2018 at £71.50 per m² indicated rents had increased and supported the higher unadjusted rate. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the Valuation Officer's unadjusted rate of £57.50 per m² was reasonable based on comparative analysis of similar properties on the same business park, particularly Unit 3 and Unit 10 at City Business Park.
