What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £45,000 to £40,500, arguing for a price per m² of £90 instead of the valuation officer's £100. The tribunal reviewed comparable rents from other units on Deptford Trading Estate, including new lettings and lease renewals. The tribunal found that the £100/m² valuation was fair and reasonable, supported by analysis of the comparables which showed rental values between £88.90/m² and £114.86/m², with the subject property fairly positioned at £100/m². The appeal was dismissed and the existing valuation confirmed.
