What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants (landlords of two retail units) challenged the rateable values on rental evidence grounds. The tribunal accepted that the rents were agreed in 2013, some two years before the AVD, and made adjustments for rent-free periods and repairs obligations. The tribunal adopted a tone of £220 per m2 Zone A (reduced from the VO's £260 per m2) by reference to the analysed rents, the location in a less prominent alleyway off the High Street (rather than on the High Street itself which was valued at £265 per m2), and comparable assessments, resulting in reduced RVs.
