What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the Valuation Officer's adopted tone of £30.50 per m² was excessive compared to comparable assessments. The tribunal found that while the subject property rent (analysed at £22 per m²) carried weight, the comparables suggested a price between £25 and £27.50 per m² when accounting for quantum and other factors. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, adopting £27.50 per m² and setting the RV at £35,750.
