What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list valuation of £124,000 (£100.00/m²), arguing it should be £87,500 (£70.00/m²) based on comparable rental evidence. The Valuation Officer offered £106,000 (£85.00/m²) during challenge. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable properties compelling, particularly two industrial units with rents close to the antecedent valuation date, and determined a fair base rate of £80.00/m², resulting in an RV of £100,000. The appeal was allowed in part.
