What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £31,500 to £22,500, arguing the price per m² should fall from £29.50 to £21.53 based on comparable properties and rental evidence. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's evidence more reliable as it comprised properties of similar age and proximity to the appeal property, with comparable rents from 2012-2014 establishing that £29.50 per m² was not excessive for a unit of this size and age in the locality. The appeal was dismissed.
