What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the nightclub should be valued at nil RV as there was no demand for large nightclubs in Scarborough, with all comparable clubs closed by 1 April 2015. The tribunal found there remained some demand for smaller clubs and could not value smaller clubs at positive values while valuing this property at nil. The tribunal reduced the RV from £30,250 to £5,400 by adopting £50.00/m² (based on the comparable at 9 Aberdeen Walk which was similar in size and town centre location) with a 10% allowance for repair and insurance liabilities.
