What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £337,500 to £270,000 (equivalent to £425/m2) based on comparable property rents, arguing the assessment was excessive. The tribunal found that the best comparable evidence, particularly Portland Mews and Archer Street (new leases close to the antecedent valuation date), supported the adopted price of £500/m2, and the appellant had not convincingly demonstrated the lower proposed rate. The appeal was dismissed with the rateable value confirmed at £317,500 following agreement on a 6% adjustment for building shape.
